Hi all. I have lately been having cold and hot starting issues. Most times it will start after about 10 seconds of cranking, other times it just refuses to start. Then I HAVE to resort to a "sniff". I don't like using ether but it's a last resort before flattening the battery completely.

I have changed the fuel filter and renewed glow plugs. This work was done after the problem surfaced.

Any ideas people ?
