What does that mean?
still brings up a fault
im pretty sure the give 12v to the glow plugs every time you turn the igntion on for a few seconds, then the ecu picks up theres a fault
why else would you get cars come in middle of summer with eml on in mornings
only way to tell is to get hte codes read

Thanks for that manta (PS Everyone i dont have internet at home atm which is why i havent replied for a little while). It does seem to be a slight vacuum leak i think cos the throttle is slowly becomg less responsive. Ive ordered one of the tech2 reader thingies off ebay to hopefully give me an idea of what it is, should be here soon. I 'think' the glowplugs are ok however I have no real test to say so but when its chilly in the morning they pop on for 3 or 4 seconds then go out and the car has no problem starting up. As said, I believe it to be a vac problem so when i get this thing I will check then on sunday will get the cover off if its something i can do myself Thanks for info
