    Hi,

    My cold start device on my bosch pump is stuck on, and has been for some
    time now! (therefore the car starts ok from cold!)

    What do I do folks? - leave it stuck on? Will it affect my mpg or
    performance if its released ?

    Cheers

    Not sure what you mean by a cold start device on the diesel pump could you
    please elaborate. There is a lever which is operated to alter the idling
    speed via a cable is this what you mean.

    Yer, sorry, that's right.

    It's a cable mechanism that runs from the bottom of the fuel filter to the
    pump and alters the hot/cold running speeds

    It's currently stuck on the cold (fast idle) setting and has been since I
    purchased the car.

    Should I get this sorted? will getting it sorted help my mpg? will this
    affect the performance?

    Cheers
