My 56 1.9 Sporting (22,600 miles) is occasionally a reluctant starter. Gives a little cough and needs a second turn of the key, after which a small plume of smoke can be seen in the mirror. I've also noticed an occasional hesitation on acceleration around 2000 rpm on a light throttle.
It's out of its 2-yr manufacturer's guarantee, and the 3rd year Dealer guarantee doesn't cover problems like dirty injectors and such. It's my first diesel so I'm seeking guidance from experienced oil burners on what the problem might be, and how best to deal with it.
