hi,

l have just taken a 1998 2.5 td elite, gave it service inc glow plugs, over the last few days have noticed when warm it will not start takes a few attempts then fine, today it done this so l decided to leave it a while, upon attemping to start it it just wouldnt in the end draining the battery,was fine in the morning took it for a 45 minute run any ideas? have had one of these before where it only gave problems fear l have made a bad investment

On the hot starting does the battery have enough power to get the correct crank speed needed,(they are harder to start when hot than cold with a  battery not 100%)

cant help with the fix for this but im sure its been a topic on here in the past there is i think a fix for the hot start problem on egay

the battery was ok til earlier when it wouldnt even turn over,so l left it for 3 hours and then it would crank but the battery was also dying out!!!

As mark says there a kit on the bay that fools the ecu into thinking its cold for about 30 seconds
