Just pulled the plugs after 1500 miles on a rebuild and they are all evenly black. Can I adjust the screw on the control unit to lean it up a bit and if so which way and by how much? Thanks once again. Richard

1500 miles on a rebuild.
Have you done a leakdown test to see if your rings are seated properly?
How many times have you adjusted your valves in the past 1500 miles?

Hi Rich.
Thanks for that. We did the valve adjustment after 500 miles along with an oil and filter change.
We will do another valve adjust in 1500 miles.
But I am thinking I will fix my electrical issues next as there seems to be a body of opinion that poor functioning battery/alternator issues may affect the D Jet?
The little car has a bad earth leak. So battery is in good nick but is dead after about three days sitting but ok if used every day.
Weird thing is when I shut down after a drive there sound like there is something running behind the radio somewhere. Like a whirring sound of a very small fan or similar. So I have a really good sparky looking at it tomorrow.
Also did a rough check on my mpg and in US numbers seems like about 22mpg. Not good.
Thanks for the help . Richard
