Hi
let me get this right it starts on easy start does in carry on running or just conk out if it just conks out i would get them to do a compression test on it.
ps if its not compression then it must be fuel or vise a versa

What is Easy Start??
Is it like WD40 or something? If so, where are you supposed to spray this on a diesel engine?2006 Discovery 3 TDV6 SE AutoBuckingham Blue 2007 Golf GT DSG

So it turns over but doesn't start?
What does the fuel gauge read? Possible fuel sender fault\damage to fuel tank giving mis-reading.
Any fault codes logged?
Does it turn over at normal speed?

But what exactly is it and how does it work?
Apart from covering up my ignorance , it might help us to figure out the OP's problem by knowing how it allowed the engine to start when it previously wouldn't....2006 Discovery 3 TDV6 SE AutoBuckingham Blue 2007 Golf GT DSG

Contains Ether ..highly flamable ..
you can turn of the fuel supply and start the car with easy start ...if you continuously sprayed in the air intake it would also run the car ( a bit lumpy ) ..not reccomended though
So it would seam a fuel issue ..as the easy start bypass's the cars fuel

Maybe they should change the fuel filter and check the high pressure fuel pump is ok....at least the fuel filter is a cheap way to start 2006 Discovery 3 TDV6 SE AutoBuckingham Blue 2007 Golf GT DSG

Why would they go to the trouble of removing two injectors if there were no fault codes stored? How did they know which two to remove?
Sorry but it doesn't make any sense to me....
Are you sure that they have a diagnostic tool capable of reading the D3 correctly?2006 Discovery 3 TDV6 SE AutoBuckingham Blue 2007 Golf GT DSG
