Sticking Fuel Cut off Solenoid - ZX Diesel

Only real cure is to replace it. Find your local diesel injection service agent, as they should be able to supply a new one for a fraction of the cost of a dealer.

If you are on the south coast, try Automarine of Brighton. They also do rebuilds.

Or try ebay for a used item for a fraction of the cost and buy another as a spare just incase as its not a big job to do and the money saved can go towards more sunflower oil ;o)

If you unscrew the solonoid, and recover the spring and plunger, then replace the solonoid, it'll run.

Stopping the engine requires stalling it in gear. Would be ok apart from possible danger of not being able to turn off if in the event of an accdient though...

Thanks for all the replies chaps. I'll ring round a few diesel places tomorrow and see what I can find.

If you need one, you can get one there!!

Or alternatively operate the stop lever on the pump. See your Hayne BOL for the location of the item on the Bosch pump - on the Lucas pump it's on the top left hand side, marked STOP.
