we've got a 55 plate diesel transit van and today when it started it made a loud knocking noise and run very rough. when the accelerator is pressed the engine splutters and then cuts out. it's also been hard to start for a while and will only start on the second turn of the key
03 transit 2400 wont start,found oil inheader tank turns over fine will start with a tow but gets hot and uses the fuel in filter,seems no diesel getting there.
