I just want to bump this up again as I'm STILL having issues cold starting (not even cold in fact, I'm talking anywhere between -5'C to 10'C).
So far I've replaced the glow plugs - no difference
New battery, Varta Silver Dynamic E44, 77Ah, 780 Cold Cranking amps
Fuel Filter - as when it did eventually start the revs were hunting
The new fuel filter made a slight difference as it now starts 2nd time if i'm lucky although this morning after a short run (1/2 mile drive) to price a job it wouldn't start again until after about 10 attempts (very embarrassing when sitting on customers drive). The rev hunting got slightly better but not entirely perfect even after warmed up.
It's been in for diagnostics with nothing found. I'm losing the will to live with this bloody truck now.
Any more ideas guys before I start tearing my hair out and running down the street naked with a pan on my head?
I'm thinking throttle valve, injectors, fuel pump, MAF and all sorts of other nightmarishly expensive things.
Cheers.
