I was just thinking about the early 80s, 81/82 and 82/83, we had 15ft snow drifts where i lived then. Totally off the beaten track so no snow ploughs or gritters and the whole village was in a time warp while it remained.

Went to start it yesterday morning, it was below -2C, it struggled to start, not only that but where before it felt like it was firing on only 4.5, it actually felt like it was only firing on 3.
Im wondering if there is a link with the above and all the glow plug boots falling to pieces?

I wonder what the main contacts are like in the glow plug relay? Could well be they are burned so if you can identify the glow plug relay, remove it, open it up and clean the contacts (an emery board is ideal, usually found in your wifes handbag for filing her nails or Boots/Superdrug/similar for a couple of quid) then refit it might solve some problems. If not, it's another thing off the list of possibilities!

I'm really beginning to think this is an injector problem with the two that were low on the previous VIDA screen, #3 and #5 and if they're not flowing enough when cold, won't be firing properly. The glow plugs are only used for starting so the disel doesn't need much more heat from compression to get it to fire.Once it's running and warm of course the heat from the engine preheats the diesel, intake temperatures are higher so the cylinder temperature gets that much higher under compression and so on.

Just thinking out loud here, but if it was an injector would that not play up all the time? My back has done one on me so I can't check or experiment at the moment. The mud in the ointment is that I changed 2 things, the plugs and injector 1 at the same time, should really only do the one so it can be eliminated, doesn't help that I won't know till the next morning :/

If you have some Ezi-Start, once running you could give it a gentle squirt into the air intake, if the engine becomes smoother then it's almost certainly a fueling problem. My back often does the same so i feel your pain (almost literally) on that one.

Hello Bashy, sorry to hear you are bit Iffy again , if it is any help why not go down the Pre heat route, i.e the small heater fitted into the radiator hose and plugged into a mains socket, at least your engine would be warm at all times . Hope something works out ok, wrong time of the year for repairs !!
