Cheers guys fingers crossed. That makes sense if no air... I don't always trust these aa diagnostic machines so not altogether surprised the throttle body code didn't show up...The glow plugs did show up but he dismissed that as insignificant now waiting to see if aa mechanical breakdown repair cover cough up.....actually if it is this I am quite pleased coz I have put soon much f ing cash into this car and the engine roars nicely when on song and we have a great model with the toys.. Hate the thought that if it went for all the hassle I would end up financing a Kia with warranty... This is now my 4th non start in 4 years and it wears you down. Will update if not fixed. Thanks again. |

If youve still got the original battery from 2007 then its done extremely well, I know they can fail all of a sudden when one plate starts to go, and of course the cold temperatures right now never help the fact either, maybe it is just that?

You need a new battery whether that is the problem or not. |

No, changing the battery will not fix a poor earth connection. They should be able to check the earth connection, some people have added an additional earth strap onto the starter motor. |
