Blowing black smoke! Help needed...

[WilliamPatrol]

Ill ring the mechanic and notify them that there is still air getting in, I'm sure this is the issue.

As for the glow plugs, I tested them with a circuit tester prior to the oil drop and they all lit up (so they're fine).

Ill re-check all lines and vac line on Sunday, to make sure there are no splits.

As for the oil change itself, I'm sure I drained the oil? Well I hope I did! [b] does anyone have a picture of the sump to make sure I emptied the right one.

Actually, I'm positive it was the sump, due to the amount of fluid that was drained. I will let the excess out on Sunday.

Theres only one sump plug on the bottom of the engine. The gearbox plug is, on the gearbox.

[WilliamPatrol]

I drained the dron left hand side sump. And from the amount of fluid drained, it has to be the engine oil. The gear oil is only 3.5L or something for the zd30?

So its all good.

A question though?

Should the mechanic do the fuel lines for free as I advised him about the issue beforehand and was charged for it, so therefore expected to do it right?

[mudski]

No. Only if they were the issue I would say something as you paid for work done elsewhere that didn't fix it. But no.
