[QUOTE=DanW@FastFord;4985287]Had loads of aggro with injectors, even though car had had £1800 worth of pump and injectors just before I bought it and car's only done 78K miles. Developed v.bad diesel knock and smoking on start-up a month later. Delphi tested the injectors and said they were fine, yet swapping two cured the knock and reduced the smoke!! Cost me £600, and it's still not quite right now.

Plus I've got a serious boost leak and can't find it, despite stripping the car and swapping just about everything... no fault codes, and non of the usual suspects are at fault. Plus I've got a hub nut that works its way loose no matter what we do, and takes out wheel bearings which are £60 a pop. I'm on my third bearing, and 5th hubnut. Got an outer CV to swap in next, so fingers crossed for that.



Hi dan,please correct me if I'm talking arse but Iirc is this the mondeo from fast ford,estate that you bought back from the insurance company after a light bump?I seem to remember you changing suspension components of some type in the mag feature which maybe where your cv problems are coming from.I've had the same thing before and it ended up with me changing every component
near enough yet still had no joy.I ended up getting a full leg from the inner cv back to the strut and it totally cured my problems,surprising sometimes how a knock can affect things like a hub or even just slightly knock the shaft out of true.they'll be pence in the scrappy by now as well. Hope it helps.
