thank you V8VOLVO .i have not touched the short bit of cold start cable with the 2 screws and nut to keep it in place ,this may have been messed with before years ago not by me . a friend who is very good with these cars but lives a long way from me said if the cold start is not working right .i need to try and get the ball stops in the correct positions but its trial and error a bit looking and listening to the sound of the engine , and slightly adjusting ball stops . im sure MPG is well down now and lack of power off too the pump has not been touched im sure so its all to do with the throttle ,and cold start set up the kick down will come in at say 40 MPH if i floor it but not at say 55 MPH . there is a slight jolt in low gearing on excelaration . the slight leak is still there on the bottom of cold start too .im thinking of a final trip to the diesel engineers at the moment ,
