Today's little niggle is that my TD is stuttering when when cold and rev's are between 1000 and 1500 rpm, it's fine after 2 mins of warming up. I thought this was a fuel filter problem.
Two baths later and I no longer smell of diesel, but the fuel filter is changed and primed (this also required me to get a new £60 battery from Halfrauds as mine died whist I was cranking the engine), but I am still having this stuttering problem when the engine's cold and in low revs.

Any ideas?

Cheers

I'm guessing he means the "Preheating system control unit".

Glad I'm not the only one with the prob. It's nothing major from what I can tell, just hate having an audience when I start my car in the morning Smile
