Hello everybody sorry for not introducing myself my name is John I work at LHR as an aircraft refueller and have been there for 11 yrs and spent about 6 yrs on the catering trucks beforehand, I've owned this 2002 TD4 for about 2&1/2 yrs have also been in the trade having run a mobile car/van servicing workshop until the taxman caught up then it was back to full time employment the problem on the TD4 started about a month ago when it started to get longer & longer to start and then I decided to do something about it, have checked quite a few posts regarding bad starting and what I have done is listed below. Have just gone out to start her up again after about 48 hrs temp. here in Sunbury is about 60' fah. and it took about 7 seconds of cranking before she would start I then stopped her immediately and waited about 5 sec and cranked again and she started in about 2-3 secs once started she runs fine having done about 143k miles no smoke no smells good acceleration and fairly good economy for driving around the London suburbs between 35-45 mpg, its just the bad starting that is the problem, again what I have done sofar is listed below any help would be most appreciated cheers John.:amen:
