This prevents the common rail reaching the pressure to activate the ECU, hence the prolonged cranking required to build up the pressure (> 10,000 psi). This test should cost you around £40 at an independent diesel specialist (Less than the cost of one one glow plug). Don't get it done at a main agent, they will charge you more. What you do next is well documented on this site Last edited by chopper_harris; Dec 27th, 2009 at 12:20.
