The old rangie has been running fine for quite a while now and I had started to like it again, It's a a 2000 DT BMW diesel, manual. About a week ago it started to be difficult to start first thing on a morning though once started it was ok and it ran no problem at all, it's only when the engine is cold it doesn't want to start. I bought 6 new glow plugs and put them in but the car is still difficult to start from cold. I tested the old glow plugs and 4 of them were ok. The battery is good, spins the engine over no problem and the fuel delivery is good, I put a new lift pump in a month ago. Is there a sensor that controls the operation of the glow plugs, it's the only thing I can think of. Anybody got any suggestions?
