Please help. I have RR 2.5 dhse w reg (BMW engine). When used daily no problems starting, however when left for approx 1 week, will not start straight away, needs 4 to 6 attempts to start it. Thinking it may be glow plugs. Any ideas.:confused:
 
As your engine is an indirect injection one,from cold it will need glow plugs to start it.Every morning - so its probably not them,fuel running back because of perished leak off pipes or a slow cranking speed because of low battery voltage are much more likely.
 
Bigstoo,Makes no difference wether full tank or half tank,still the same problem.

Thanks

A friend of mine has a diesel VW camper van and had starting issues. After replacing the glow plugs, hey presto starts first time.

I'd do the cheapest option first....then if not fixed move on to the next culprits...starter motor, alternator etc.
 
to eightinavee,
thank you for reply,you've probably answered my question,I swapped the battery a few weeks ago & noticed the new one had a lesser cranking ratio.

Thanks again
