Also you mentioned you retarded the pump because it had that famous diesel clattery type sound we all love. It is supposed to sound like that in the mornings when its cold, and it will go away as it warms up. That little bit of advance you had might of been helping your cold starts to no end. Now you retarded it back your having trouble? Really just thinking aloud now...
Get a video aswell, that will help us.
I might br wrong but i just had a quick skim over it all but no ones mentioned glow plugs yet?
My battery seems fine, and i have tested it in the past and it was all ok, not recently though.
Yea i retarded the pump when it first came back on the road, as the diesel knock was happening when the car was warm, it sounded awfull, but i have to say when it was knocking, it started on its first turn.
The glow plugs are all fine, each one holds the same volts (around 11v i think)
