• Pump action failure ? Nissan Primera 31 May 2005 (Forum)
  I tried to start my car a couple of days ago and it didn't start. The engine turned over, but would not fire up. I ended up calling the AA patrol out, and he checked the Fuel pump fuse & relay and they were fine. He ended up getting it started by spraying something through the air filter hose

• Fading Diesel 8 Apr 2002 (Forum)
  BX diesel; engine difficult to start, may then run for a while before fading out. Found a leak in the fuel system (at it's most inaccessible point at the back of the engine) large enough to produce a weedy squirt of diesel when the primer pump is operated. Clearly air can get in, which would
