Hi folks . I’m truly stuffed with my 159 jtdm. Took out injectors to change o rings … got air in system and now won’t start . Have tried cracking off linkages and turning ignition on and cranking …. But still no joy. I rang local diesel specialist who laughed and said ‘good luck’. Any suggestions from you as even YouTube can’t help.

Cheers

Adam

If you have a compressor, try putting the fuel tank under pressure while a friend turns the key. It will start (eventually) but you might need to attach a booster to the battery.
