Guys at a bit of a loss with this one, done the usual search's on the net without a conclusion. When the cold weather sets in it is a nightmare to start, car has been on diagnostics and no fault codes come up, its a 54 plate with 75k on.
Fuel filter, glow plugs changed, injection cleaner put through as there was excesive black smoke out the back, Clutch was changed last year. Once it starts it runs like a dream with plenty power and then will start all day long, the car is fine starting in warmer weather.
The only issue is when it has been left all night it takes throttle and excesive cranking to start. The glow plug light is never on for more than a second, it did seem to help returning the ignition off and back on to re light heater plugs before starting but now this doesnt seem to help.
Before it goes the journey help would be appreciated.
