V50 Engine 2.0D : Starting Problem

[Robert H]

I’ve got a 09 plate V50 2.0D with 120K on the clock and it’s developed starting issues, sometimes it’ll take a couple of minutes cranking to start other times it won’t start at all. Once started however it runs sweet as a nut. I’ve replaced the throttle as suggested and whilst the old one was oily changing it didn’t solve the problem. I’ve had the battery checked and that’s all good, I don’t think it’s the fuel pump as that’s less than two years old. I’ve plugged in a fault code reader and that says everything thing is fine. Any ideas? I’m extremely reluctant to take it to the garage without some idea as to what’s wrong as I don’t want to pay for random experimental parts swapping.

Thanks

Rob
