The Surf is getting much harder to start now it's getting colder - I've been reading through some older posts and found 3 things about which I have some questions -
1. some people seem to suggest switching on and off 2 or 3 times and waiting for the beep each time to warm the plugs nicely - does this actually do anything extra beyond the first time?
2. When I replaced the head I noticed that the fuel-primer handpump took ages to do anything - can this be the cause of poor cold starting?
3. If I swap the fuel filter and pump head, to bleed it do I just slacken the injector pipes, pump until diesel appears, tighten up and start it up?
and finally 4. How can I check if the glo-plugs are shot? They were new from Milners perhaps 1 to 1.5 years ago.
