Hi guys,
Thanks for the info so far. I've just read the new posts and I know what I'll be doing on my last day off. Gota love having old cars.
Questions to all:
How common is it to have a delivery spring fail in an IP?
Will removing the access panel on the side of the IP at the delivery valves cause anything to become in jeopardy of falling out of place?

I consider my self a decent DYIer but no expert on IPs. However, I've successfully completed the R&R of the delivery springs, seals and washers my other 5 cylinder w201. I've been tinkering with MB diesels for about 5 years and anything mechanical since I was 13. So I'm confident enough to attack most jobs, but experienced enough to know when I've reached my limits. So what I'm saying is don't hold back anything!

I'm going to give up on this, I've spent a day trying cranking/charging with no change. And still no fuel at the front injector.
The glowplugs are relatively new and the weather has been nice and warm here so the GPs probably aren't an issue.
