Too old to be doing repairs and too poor not to

[Diesel Turbo]

Hi All!
I got my first surf! I changed all fluids,(engine, gearbox, transfer, diffs F&R, water/antifreeze, new belts, filters oil, air, and diesel as a 2.4. now im having a break as I cant get it started again lol! I think as Just did the diesel filter and turned the engine over before I primed the system I have an air lock :-(
I will look at threads on how to get rid unless you have any good ideas :-)
It is an original condition H plate Immaculate one with 80k on it. I was lucky to get it as it was a 1 owner in this country from import and no longer needs it.
Some one has nicked the plastic extension wheel arches!
It only has 1 battery ...a good one at that but I would like to put 2 due to the power starts these need, where does the second one go?
to sum up: how to remove diesel air lock and primer button not doing it, and where does the second battery go please, many thanks if you reply to help a newbie

get someone to turn it over and undo each injector in turn until you get diesel from them.

Hello.
As far as I know, H reg Surfs never had arch extensions fitted.

With the dual battery set-up, a battery goes behind each headlight.
You'll need to run a heavy duty cable across to the other battery and link the two positive terminals together. Both earth terminals bolt to the inner wings.

Thanks for that, I will look for auction arches and how much second battery is.

Thanks for that, got it going at last! I have read many of your threads over past few days, nice to get a reply in person

My H reg didn't have arches but I retro fitted them.

Are you on the original steel wheels? If so then if you fit arches you'll want to change the wheels (well I did) because the offset keeps them really close to the chassis and the arches look like they are sticking our really far.

I fitted Pajero wheels (which have a wider offset than the standard surf ones) which fill the arches nicely!

Cheers,

Ray.
