Wonderful. HAs this got anything to do with the box Darren had to attack with a cold chisel a little while ago ? Or is it a separate item all together that works in conjunction with the cut of solenoid?

[nissannewby]

Thats the one. The stop solenoid is inside that box. That box is held on with anti tamper bolts (the style that shear once at tension). Usually when the nats starts to fail it will be starting issues that will occur.

The other thing is the ignition barrels can get a little sticky and cause the same effect.

Just picked her up, thanks to Mudski for a lift in the beast! Hi flow pump fitted, coolant system fully re-flushed, new hoses, new belts, new thermostat cover bolts.
I mentioned the fuel shut off and the car shutting off longer than usual, but to me it didn't do it this morning, nor did it do it all day in the workshop so, I'll keep an eye out on it in the future.

Just gotta keep tabs on the coolant next few days and maybe top up as it settles.

[Hodge]

Ok so the bloke told me the coolant will settle a bit and to keep checking, and topping up ,next day or so. Just went for a drive and, engine warm and I need to top up as there is minimal coolant in both of these tanks.
Now I get confused about this CRD and 4.2TDi reservoir and overflow tank setup... And maybe a stupid question but where exactly do you top up? The reservoir tank, the radiator or the overflow ??? I forgot to ask him before I left.

Id cable tie those earth cables to the battery tiedown plate.
No idea mine is always about 500mml away from a full radiator

the one with the yellow cap down the side it has min and max

Fill the radiator to the top and fill the overflow bottle to the acceptable area between Min and Max

Top radiator up first. Then fill header tank with radiator cap. Only fill the overflow (yellow cap) to the lo mark.
