Good evening all ,
I am new to this forum and would appreciate any help or advice please .
My trusted and reliable car has covered 150k miles but she has developed problems starting recently . I had the glow plugs and a new battery replaced a few months back but the car starts erratically now . It might start first time but a few hours later , it can take 3 or 4 cranks before she fires up . But there are days when it may take 3 or 4 starts and stalling before starting up and hours later she will start after just one turn of the key . There are no warning lights on the dash either .
The timing belt was changed a couple of years ago so that should be ok , in fact i had the top end done following fitment of the wrong belt by a dozy mechanic .
Any ideas or help towards a plausible explanation would be appreciated before winter arrives .
Thank you
