Hard to start
#3
How long is it taking to start? A few seconds longer or a long time? Did it get worse gradually or suddenly? The most common cause of hard starts is knackered or old glow plugs, or air in the fuel system. Maybe also check your fuel filter and perhaps replace (£4 for a new one) and the air filter too.
