I have just bought a 2000 2.5 TD with 100K on the clock. A good service history every 20K. Had problems kicking over at the dealers, thought flat battery from sitting in the yard. On pick up started first time (thanks to new battery) drove home like a dream. Had an empty fuel tank so I popped in $25 worth of diesel.
So this morning hoping to drive home out of Sydney the ute wouldn't start. Lots of go in the battery but no start. The water in fuel indicator was on so I replaced the fuel filter (full of water and crap) bled the system, still no start. Replaced the glow plugs, rebled the system, still no start. Spoke to a few Ford mechanics and was told I've done everything right.
Any help greatly appreciated here.
Have I bought a lemon or is it something simple.
