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
