it could turn out to be the actuall filter head itself,because somtimes the fiter head has a non rtn fuel valve built inside,or the the hand primer on the filter head has broken down inside,this used to be a big problam on the ford 1.8diesel escorts and mondeos,classic non starter in the morning,when if they did eventualy start clouds of white smoke .

Also used to be a common problam on the 0813 ford cargo non starter in the morning,turned out to be the non rtn fuel valve which was on the fuel pump.

Yes i no this vehcle is none of the above but most diesels are run on the same principal.

Hurray, somebodies hit it at last. A lot of (no doubt well meaning) but very worrying & expensive crp spouted above. Glow plugs, cracked heads, injector valves? etc.

Its a Ford & its diesel. Change the fuel filter HOUSING before you do anything else. They are inexpensive. I'd say 90% that'll cure your problem.

Assuming the vehicle isn't centuries old & hasn't covered over 150,000 kms, in Thailand i wouldn't even be interested if the heater plugs were working or not as they are so rarely needed, especially if its a DI or Common rail. (Maybe just a little in Chiang Mai at 5 am in the coldest month)

When it gets this bad, start worrying. (check out Hectors comments)

Glow plugs is it still crp ?

buy a blow up doll and put a school uniform on it

If you get a taxi outside tesco at ON Nut and he will turn left then right after tesco and he is on the expressway about 20 minutes.

I've got a old mountain bike if you want it's been ridden to many times for me , I also just shaved my ass if you need any hair

Are you right for underpants and socks ?

Definitely a Golden tree snake.

Not poisonous and normally quite happy to be close to people, they don't tend to move away.

Thanks CM

It gave me quite a surprise as it came so close and hit the ground hard. It was then very quick getting away now another thing to watch out for falling flying snakes.

A bit bigger picture may help

Time get the ferret out again

Lesser known legless tree ferret......

If my ferret ever goes green i'm outa here

I was walking along Pattaya Beach a couple of days ago and this snake dropped out of a tree and landed in front of my feet and then went back up the coconut tree.

can anyone tell me the name of it.

Make the best of your short hold of the ashes you poms , because it will be another 100 years in the aussies hands after we take it back in 2013, we just felt a bit sorry for you all and lent it back temporarily.

I like to use a long cue but I often find it hard to control and my shot lands in the wrong pocket

The Vip Bus from Bangkok to Krabi isn't to bad I have done it twice.

I recently purchased Paragon Hard disk manager you can download it for 30 days free trial.

It is very slow when cloning my laptop hard drive but may be better with a desktop

There is a wholesaler in pantip I think on the first floor

she kept doing this smelling thing near my nose. I guess it is called sniff kissing?

If she sniffed you down around the arse area also then I would'nt call it sniff kissing.

yes its available 100 baht per bag

The best advice is google these two words Scams Thailand do your research and make notes.

I wouldn't be taking the head off without further tests , if it is just blowing white smoke at start up It seem that its not burning properly test the glow plugs first.

Try using boiling water in a spray gun

Why do idiots have to kill these snakes?

The creature probably moved into the car out of fear.

Over the years I have had several snake visitors appear on my land here. I just spray them with water using a high-pressure garden hose in the direction that I wish the snake to go. They quickly sliver away at high speed off my property, never to be seen again.

I’ve heard all the excuses about having young children, pets etc, etc, and on and on. But the facts are that these animals are easy to chase off the premises using common sense methods without cruelty.

Stop Playing with your snake , If you have children around and there is a deadly snake around kill it before it kills some one else.

Lend it to A tuk tuk driver for half an hour

White smoke is signs of the engine not being hot enough and un burnt fuel, does your engine have a lot of miles on it,

Is the battery strong when it cranks over it could be low compression or crook glow plugs.

Air in the fuel will cause it not to run.

Try using boiling water in a spray gun

If you have problems like that now it means you cannot trust your wife. Why would you buy a house in her name if she does things like that.

You must have more money than sense.

I don't really have any probs now. Just dont want to run into any in the future. I just know during the low season they tend to borrow money against property and cars. They are actually pretty generous.

Well best of luck to you Its good to see you are being careful and getting a bit of advice, I hate seeing people get taken for a ride.
