I wouldn't have thought for the last three to four months you would have had a delay for the glow plugs to kick in. You only get a delay in the cold weather, at the moment or even the last few months the starter will just spin it over with no delay. p****d off with a Digital Keyboard Warrior |

Agree, the ambient temperature is too high for the car to activate the glow plugs, there will be no delay. More likely to be fuel related. |

thank you for the replies i wasn't expecting a delay in there temps but it is the fact it turns over 2 or three time before starting so i am concerned it may be worse when the weather goes cold do you think it might be fuel pump |

You could changed the fuel filter, or try a fuel additive to give the whole system a good clean. I have used this;

I wouldn't be concerned with 2 or 2 seconds, as it gets colder the Glow Plugs will come on. When it starts how does it run, lumpy, smokey p****d off with a Digital Keyboard Warrior |

I've been having some problems for the last week. Sometimes it just clicks and sometimes it turns over once. A few more attempts and it kicks into life. Very strange and no error messages. Thanks to the info on here I have just ordered a starter motor solenoid repair kit @ £16.30 delivered. Got to be worth a punt over the price of a new starter. Mines a 57 plate td4 with 69k. |

fitted the new bosch starter today (bought on ebay £165 new - half the price of what LR sell it for and its the identical part and model number that came off the car)

I often wonder what the stop start car starters will be like after a few years, some could be restarting the car 100s of times a day in queuing traffic?? |
