strugle to start

[Titch161086]

Well hello again fellow pig pushers

This morning in the lovley Cambridgeshire country side we had a bit of a hard frost!!!

Neadless to say this did not help my Phase 1 Dturbo to fire up this morning. The last thing i want to do is get the can of EASY START out but it was getting really close to the time i have to set of for work!!!! The old girl fired into life in the very last turn as the battery was starting to drop in power!!

Any suggestions on what the problem could be??

Glow plugs would be my first port of call, they're easy enough to replace mechanically, just a bit of a ballache to access.

As above, first suspect is the glowies. Give them a few cycles before you try and fire it up, see if that makes any difference. I thought mine was gonna be a pain to start this morning, but i heated the plugs 3 times, and she fired up first turn! None of the usual lumpiness and smoke!

yeh i have orderd some BOSCH DURATERMS as i thought it might be the plugs.

but my mate seams to think there could be air gettin into the system!!
Iv seen how much of a ball ache it will be to fit the new plugs but its worth doing i think. I will let yous all know if that resolves the situation.
