Hi guys.
My 2001 1.9D Berlingo passed it's MOT last month with a couple of advisories (couple of tyres, and the driver's side rear shock absorber). The van was struggling to start and I was advised to change the glow plugs, which I did myself, and no more starting issues.
Since changing the glow plugs I've been smelling fuel when I finish driving and leave the vehicle, or if I have the heaters on. I checked today and there's a cable exposed that when the engine is running drips fuel. I've took the engine apart the same way I did the glow plugs and can't find where this cable has come from so I can reconnect it. I didn't intentionally pull it out so it must've happened while changing plugs.
Also I had the garage change the two rear shock absorbers. Since being changed when I hit a bump in the road there's a banging from the shocks and the van seems very bouncy like a water bed. The garage said this is correct for 200-300 miles as there's no springs with this model. Does anyone know if this is correct?
Thanks for your time reading my post and any responses would be much appreciated
