davycrocket Posted May 3, 2008 Posted May 3, 2008 Hi, i know this isnt the right place to be asking, but i cant find anywhere else to ask, perhaps somebody can help ? I have a 2002 relay 2.8 hdi with apporx 85000 miles on the clock which has developed a starting problem from cold. The engine will turn over as normal, but doesnt fire, this only happens from cold mainly (has happened 2 or 3 times when warm only) it can sometimes be upto ten attempts to start the van and regulary has to be jumped from another cars battery. i have had a diagnostic tool connected up which registered no faults. Help !!!! Regards Dave Quote

Cheers Riz, do the glow plugs actually work if it aint too cold ? Quote
