Bad starting on a 2.5N/A 90
 

Okay I'm throwing this one into the ring as I'm totally stuck....

Every morning - cold or warm....

Hold it on the Glow Plugs - wait - fire it up and it runs - a few seconds later it dies - then takes ages and a load of help from a spare battery - to get it going - it might do the same thing 3 or 4 times in the 20 minutes it gets to get it going....

Problem - is it an air lock getting in some where.... once the engine is fired up it will start and run - no problems... first time.... is it taking time for the leak to get enough air in to cause the problems... but where is the air getting in and where is it storing itself...

I have bled the system - when warm - no air... so.....

Any ideas much appreciated....

sounds like you may have a shot glow plug or two. Does it run a bit rough before it dies? I had a similar prob a while ago and this was the solution. Hope you get it sorted.
