Help!
I've recently started to suffer with starting problemswhen the truck (CRDi SE) has been left for more than about 12 hours between starts. It turns over okay, just fails to fire and then the battery starts to run-down, which hasresulted ina couple of jump starts.
I've been 'working around' the problem, by nipping out last thing at night, starting up, and letting it idle for a few minutes before bed. So far so good. (Also negligible cost!)
Obviously this isn't a long term solution, so I'm hoping for some clues here. I'm no mechanic, so felt a bit silly when the garage told me they couldn't fit new glow plugs as my truck doesn't have any...
I'm sure it's not just down to the cold weather.
