Yep, if doesn't sound right. I mentioned in the second post, transmission bolts have score marks which makes it pretty clear to me that the trans has been off at some stage. Bm autowerks have run diagnosis and picked up glow plug faults, EGR fault and injector fault. So they're pulling the manifold on Monday and concentrating on those areas first. Will keep you all posted. Appreciate the reply, Ant
