Can anyone tell me how I can remove the in-tank fuel pump. I can't work out how to remove the pipes from it or how to undo the black plastic ring around it. Are there any hand tips or required tools?

did you get this problem fixed? if so, what was it?

are the glow plugs easy to get to? I dont own a Haynes manual. The oil I used was straight from the shelf so clean and particle free. is it possible to flood a modern diesel engine? I was cranking the engine for some time (and so was the AA man when he came to my rescue)

I occassionally put 15 litres of vege oil in my 2.0 HDi has been running fine on it. Put some in last night just after stopping. Had about a quarter of a tank of diesel still in it. went to start the car afterwards and it did not fire. not even the slightest splutter. its either a big coincidence, or the vege oil has caused it. I would have though that the diesel still in the pipes would have at least made the engine fire and then die, but there was nothing. now I need to try and work out what the problem is! is it easy to test/replace the low-pressure fuel pump in the tank? are there any other things I need to check?

Hi all, I just picked up a Xsara 2.0 HDi from an eBay seller. It has a few niggling problems, which I was aware of before purchasing. the most important of these is the speedo not working. The needles doesn't move at all, and the trip counter does not increase either (which is surely illegal) Can anyone shed some light on the way these work. does it sound like a simple problem? easy/cheap to fix? Thanks in advance, Matt
