Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

Probably your fuel filter is full of **** from the bottom of the fuel tank. Never a good idea to let your diesel run out completely.

Sounds like your fuel filter might have seen better days. Start with that anyway.

Also take fuel tank cap off and start car giving it a good few sharp revs, the extra air 'vacuum' apparently shoots the fuel through lines clogged with tiny particles!! will do no harm anyway, Good Luck....
