Then it dawned on me that you could use a 'bulb' type primer, as fitted to Peugeots and Rovers. This could be bought from a scrappy and left in place in the fuel line on your Tranny. Then I noticed in a new Sealey service tool "2007 promotion" pamphlet, that you can buy a "diesel fuel priming tool" which is a bulb type bleeder that looks perfect for the job. Pt no is: VSE055 and I'm buying one NOW! Only cost £12.95 +vat. Website is: http://www.sealey.co.uk. I do hope this helps some people because I know when forums have helped me in the past it's been really great. The van in question, by the way, is running perfectly with no leaks. The solenoid is still not available as a seperate part from Ford, so go to your Diesel specialist or Bosch. You will also need the special tool, again see your diesel guy. Stoneycroft diesel in Liverpool got me these parts and could not have been more helpful-highly recommended. Happy bleeding, Jon.

I have just had a new fuel pump solenoid fitted after it was leaking, now after 100 miles, when turned off the van wont start?
I took it back to the garage and they are stumped, clueless, and are saying maybe the pump is knackered? its pumping diesel fine when bump started
It starts with easystart first time and runs fine enough but just wont start when you turn it over normally, any ideas?

rsjon wrote:Hello! This is my first post! I have just replaced the fuel metering solenoid on a 53 plate FWD 2.0 Tranny and CANNOT get the fuel system to bleed! Initially it started ok but soon stopped and will not bleed/start. I know these are tricky to bleed (I've had fun before with filter heads and pipes) but this seems really bad. There is no primer on the filter head and I have tried vacuum on the injector pipes to no avail. When cranking a small ammount of fuel comes out and air, but not enough to start I don't think. Can anybody help and give me a definitive sequence for bleeding the horror!!
Thanks, Jon.
