The battery light came on yesterday - I got a new battery fitted and the light stayed on. Now it wont start unless bumped
Hi Jenny,It may be your alternator,get a jump,drive to Autozone,leave running with someone inside and get them to test your alternator,only takes a few minutes,they have a hand held scanner.
SOURCE: glow plugs
awkard job but easy to do and remember the old adage if its in the way remove it ,remove the long communial wire then take the heaters out which is either a 12mm or 13 mm deep socket depends on make of glow plugs as to the size
SOURCE: I have a citroen dispatch and a warning light on
Hi, i'm pretty sure that it's the warning light to tell you to drain the water trap on the bottom of the diesel filter.
Hope that helps Matt...
SOURCE: car wont rev
under the bonnet on the back of the mechanical pump there is a unit held in by 2 bolts
remove this unit and on the end there is a tiny filter
this will need cleaning because when the lift pump brakes down tiny parts of it get sucked up through the pipes and clog the filter
it may be best to feplace the fuel filter aswell

You need new heater plugs by the sound of it.
could be possible fuel pump starting to fail but unlikely if its just when cold.

you surprise me,these vehicles are bullet proof under normal circumstances and yes the syncros can wear out like any make of vehicle ,but this old grandad who passed his test in a viva with no syncro on first gear ,and passed his hgv on a vehicle with no syncros at all was taught to drive in a different era and rule one was neutral and handbrake on when stopped ,not holding it on a hill by slipping the clutch ,secondly to not put a vehicle in first gear whilst moving ,well it wouldnt go anyway ,double the clutch between gears so as to reduce the wear on the syncros and gears .not to ride the clutch between changing gears and also change down using double the clutch to save the brakes and stop vehicle slipping or skidding on a wet road ,not fly up to a roundabout ,slam on brakes force it into first gear at 30 mph then try to imitate evil kenival by going around on two wheels .This sort of driving will only damage the gearbox like syncros and clutches not lasting very long .
