Yes, but it is possible to accidentally turn the rotor arm one tooth on the distributor when lowering the unit back onto the crankshaft. I've seen a professional (mate of mine) do this, and he couldn't get the engine in question (Ford Essex V6) to run at all until he corrected this.

Which makes it your fault. Anyway, the issue will almost certainly be water penetration in the connectors.

No. we're suggesting that you find out what the problem actually is. It clearly can't be an exhaust particulate filter since you don't have one.

Which gearbox? I may know something but it's box dependent.

About the only DIY thing that might help is to check that the boots over the headlight bulbs seal properly.

It seems like fairly normal behaviour then; a Jeep I travel in regularly has a warning "key has left vehicle" when the driver gets out with the engine running and the key in his pocket!

That looks more like an oil line than a boost pipe.

Which suggests that your problem is not actually glow plugs then.

Any other toys that might be relevant, such as keyless ignition?

Do you get white smoke that smells of diesel fuel for a few seconds when it does fire?

How old is the battery?

They're so much snake oil in road cars, but well worth using in competition.

Based on the various volunteer and hackney taxis I've been in over the last 9 months, another Superb. Seriously, unless you have Rolls-Royce money I've not been in anything better.

Well, that's an understatement. There are cases of it treating a wind-blown crisp packet as a potential collision and panicking!

NP. Neither do I, but this lets us subvert the idea behind the Ultra LEZ zone...

There's park&ride at Ingliston and at Hermiston (south side though).

Well, I'm convinced this should be new engine under warranty (and new transfer box too by your account).

Wait for a few seconds before activating the starter. Get in, switch on and then fasten your seat belt before trying to start the engine.

In what sense? I've experienced a similar failure exactly once down the years (different maker and engine), and it was handled as "new engine under warranty".

And you think that any other maker is better unless you're buying a spec that is already delivered!?

Best next suggestion is to try and check blanking plugs and grommets in the bulkhead and front floor, particularly if this happens/is worse when/after driving on wet roads.

Now guess why those of us who can only afford 1 car are not convinced by EVs.

I would, but be prepared for a main stealer to say "Nothing to do wif us Guv, and it'll cost you £90 to even find out where to look."

I have absolutely no idea since I know nothing about Moroccan prices for lubricants or labour.

Yes and no. Yes in that the replacement dampers will have necessitated disturbing the cables to the front ABS sensors, and maybe the sensors themselves. And that could have a knock-on effect on the TPMS, and any traction control system fitted. No in that it should not cause any defect(s) other than from disconnecting and reconnecting the sensors.
