Hi Everyone,

Had a lot of reading from the forum and learnt a lot. I would like to ask for your help. I have a 1974 240D. Saying that it started life as a petrol and was fitted with a diesal engine before I bought it. It has been laid up for the last 3 years as I was out of the country. When I tried to start it It kicked into life but cut out, I think there is a problem with fuel starvation.I opened one of the fuel lines at the injectors and got my wife to turn the engine and no fuel came out. I have read on here that you can manually bleed the system but I do not know how to do it. The engine I have has the red knob that you fill with engine oil on the fuel pump.
I would be very grateful for any help and advice.

Regards RP.
