i feel my 130pd has got more sluggish from cold over time, dare i say i have stalled it a few times just after cold start up[:I][:I] Is this a normal thing, I do know diesels aren't great when cold. Could something need cleaning?? She's done 33,000mls.

doesnt sound right, mine is no different however cold it is. bad quality diesel somewhere?

Sounds like you need to runs some MILLER DIESEL POWER PLUS through your fuel lines []

Did somebody say GB [^]

Just out of interest, what does that Millers stuff do ?

 

[tinter]

Here's the Miller Fuels website: http://www.millersoils.net/index2.html

Click on 'automotive world' , then choose 'fuel treatments' from the products drop down lists.

It looks ok I think.

Mine sounds a bit more clattery and takes longer to warm up the colder it is, but I think thats just normal, and figures really. Once warmed up its spot on. I use millers diesel power plus in most tanks and shell diesel extra. I try to give it a good blast on a longish journey regularly too to keep things tip top. I never thrash it till the engine is fully warmed up. Mine has now 36k on the clock and I have had it since 17k.

I have in the past noticed what I initially thought was a drop in power, but I have put it down to just getting used to and familiar with it on a day to day basis.

Diesel: Is that Millers Diesel Power Plus stuff any good then? Is there a noticeable difference, or is it more of a thing to maintain good running?

 

[Diesel]

Personal preference I would say mate. I noticed a difference by switching from normal diesel to shell extra diesel, then I started bunging the millers in. Shell diesel extra is supposed to have the additives in it too.

If im honest, no real major difference to performance with millers, but absolutely no soot now and piece of mind its keeping the inside of the engine in good nick.

got some of this miller stuff 2day, will put it in at next fill up. worth a try for ?5.99 !!

 

[GeordieLife]

Dazer, where'd you get it for ?5.99?

 

[benjie]

I think I'll get some and give it a go too!

 

[Dazer]

Got it from a place called VCF in Norwich, just off the shelf!! Why is this a good price? [^][]

 

[phil200sx]

I've tried putting Diesel treatment through mine and it still does it. The only thing I find that works is to give it a quick blip of the throttle before you go to pull off and then she's fine - just the once from an early morning cold start up.

 

[GeordieLife]

Dazer, aye, it's a couple of quid cheaper than most places!

 

[ray singh]

?5.99 !!! Is that from a trade outlet ????

The best price I've been given at the moment for 40 bottles is ?5.50.

I'd be very interested to know if its a trade/wholesale place.

Thanks

try looking at your glow plugs

take them out and get to wires and connect to your battery to make them work thay should get very hot strait away (mined your fingers)if not then get new ones also egr valve gets clogged up with slug after time check and clean (egr valve is a big butter fly valve)find it by air pipe going into the engine
