This is my first foray into forums and this one looks good and lively.

Sorry to start off with a problem but needs must. My beloved '97 Felicia diesel has just got an intermittent starting problem. The glow plug indicator on the dash fails to come on and I can tell from the interior light not dimming that the glow plugs are not drawing current. When it did light and start I rushed it to my Skoda dealer for a check. It wouldn't start again in their car park.

They have just phoned and told me that the injector pump is faulty and will cost me getting on for 2K to fix! :confused: Surely and intermittent fault in the pre-heating circuit can't be caused by the injector pump?

I know I could probably get the pump replaced for under 1K but I'm not convinced that the pump is the problem. Can anyone tell me if this tale could be true please?
