denlin Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 If it's diesel it could be glow plugs or spark plugs if petrol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

denlin Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 its petrol , if it was spark plugs wouldnt it not run ok , its running as it did when eventually started It would but you are not getting spark to ignite it properly once it's running it will be fine but I'm no mechanic just married to man who used to do his own repairs, these days it usually goes to garage because it's more modern diesel and not as easy to work on, makes it a lot more expensive to maintain though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shand1 Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 Coolant temperature sensor !!, May not be getting enough fuel when cold if this sensor is faulty ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
