Hi,
can anyone help with a problem? I have a 2003 Vogue SE diesel. It used to fire up immediately the key was turned, but now turns over for 4-5 seconds before firing. It starts better when cold - when the engine is hot it turns over for ages before firing & has failed to start a couple of times until it cools down. I've been told this might be the ECT sensor failing or a worn injector pump. Any thoughts? many thanks in advance.

I know nowt about the L322, but low cranking speed from a worn starter motor or poor battery can cause the problem that you have. Cranking speed is more critical on diesels.
