After a few days sat starting is sometimes difficult.
It's like it's not getting fuel but after a few turns fires up.
300tdi, mechanical fuel pump,rebuilt head,all good for fuel supply and heat plugs.
However as mentioned it seems to not like being sat for more than a week...
Any ideas?
 
That doesn’t sound too bad to be honest, I have a different engine and which turns over at least four or five times when for a couple of weeks before it fires, but thats only 2 or 3 seconds which is exceptabe.

But then if the starting becomes intermittent at any time day or night and your D1 has a ‘spider’ immobiliser fitted that is one suspected as it controls the fuelling, starting intermittently is a symptom that its faulty.
Don't worry as a bypass of that spider circuit is easy. 🙂

Of course if its mechanical i’m lost, diesel engines aren’t my thing.

I had a wee private convo with the bloke at the beginning. Can't betray what he said but you'd need a torch and a miner's helmet to find him,he is so far up himself.

So do give a link or tell me where on the forum he offended. Love to see atwonker getting his just desserts!!!!
