would do ignition checks, because of damp weather, but would suspect coolant temp sensor.






edit, your spelling of heater, heather............. I mistook for healthier........ so ignore ignition advice.

 

Is this a diesel? If so, the new heater plugs need checking for power supply, fuses, relays, stuff like that.

 

By you saying 'heater' plugs guess it's a diesel.
In that case I would check the ECT sensor (Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor) as this helps the ECU determine the amount of fuel to inject and also how long the glowplugs remain energised.
It could have failed giving a 'hot engine' reading.
A cold engine requires more fuel and the glowplugs need to remain on longer than when the engine is hot.
Would think that it's function can be checked by a resistance test, I am unable to find what the readings should be at the moment but will post if I find them.

Hope this helps.

 

many thanks will have to have a look into it!

Its no use for a get away car if it doesnt start hehe

 

I still have no luck on this starting

Where is the ect at? is it a big job replaceing it?

Its a 2lt TD+ 115

Many thanks

 

It's located in the top of the coolant outlet elbow.
ie. Looking at the engine from the front it's on the left hand side, close to the engine where the hot coolant leaves the engine on its way to the radiator.

Hope that helps.

 

Is the Ect any of these?

 

ECT sensor on diesel ?

I have not got a diesel, but I would say it's the lower one in your picture, IF it is fitted into a coolant pipe. Don't know what the other one is though.
Praps somebody with a diesel can confirm.
