Had posted some FBH troubles before. Had an afternoon messing about with car and FBH. It’s controlles via a remote taking a trigger from lights on third button. Worked flawlessly all last winter.
This year, not a fart or squeak...
Its definitely not getting fuel via the little pump. So I rigged up a small hand pump and fed it some diesel.
Still nothing.
With the remote, the fbh will make all the right noises, but will only run for 20seconds or so.
Looking at live reading, it looks as though the glow plug status is off, air pump off, fuel pump off and water pump on.
Anyone near Glasgow who knows anything regarding the FBH? Help!!

My parents d3 fbh has similar
I used and air line (and gap iid tool)
When it’s was attempting to start I fed air down the intake
Which would produce lots of smoke, and after several attempts and lockouts which I cleared
The burn time got longer and smokier until it eventually
Started burning cleaner and without air line aid.
If you haven’t got the iid tool then I’m think if you have the same fbh controller as me, then you can clear the fbh faults / lock out with the jumper in the controller box
It took a lot of attempts (15+) bit each time it got a bit better
Don’t squirt too much derv down as you will just get it too wet inside and it comes out the exhaust

Sounds as if it’s the same controller right enough. As you said, I can unlock it with the jumper. I had the derv pressurised and again, right enough, it started leaking out the exhaust.
I’ve been trying to feed air into it gently, but still no joy.
