Hello. Talk about being unlucky. My C270 cdi broke down last Sunday, R.A.C attended and diagnosed the fault as a "half eaten fuel hose". To my surprise, a mouse had chewed through the pipe that I think goes onto the water cooler for the fuel??!! Anyway, it was fixed at the roadside and off I went. Imagine how I felt on Tuesday morning when the car ground to a halt! R.A.C attended yet again and found that the little Ba***rd rodent (or rodent's) had done another "job" on the fuel system. This time it was a more serious hose. It was the return from the main fuel feed rail! I managed to get a new pipe and fit it myself (after about 2 hours) although I now have a problem starting the car. This is obviously due to air in the system, but I dont know how to go about bleeding it. There is no "primer" type pump or bellows that I can see. Can anybody shine a light on my predicament or do I have to get the bus tomorrow??
Many thanks in advance
