• Another 306 diesel problem 3 Jun 2005 (Forum)
  After many hours of cuts, scrapes and dirt in my eyes I finally got to the stage where it was ready to start. But it wont start. It has the keypad immobiliser and I have swapped the diesel pumps over so that I am using the original one to avoid problems with the code that is stored. The problem is that there is no fuel getting past the stop solenoid. The pump is primed, there is diesel entering the pump and leaving the pump via the return to the tank, but none going to the injectors.

• Petrol in a Diesel - how far will it go? 24 Jun 2005 (Forum)
  Engine management light flickers off and on, first mostly off, but now mostly on. It sounds unusual, a bit "knocky" and driving it, it "feels" like a fuel problem, it goes then it doesn't, it goes then it doesn't. Vauxhall dealers plug into it and can't see the reason for the fault, and want the car back next week. I'm now totally unsure if I put diesel or petrol in (never had a diesel before, had this one about a month).
