Takes about 15 secs to reluctantly fire then a bit of throttle sorts it. Only a problem on the first start of the day. Had this with a prev car (Xantia tdi) so confident(ish) it's the plugs. Very skint at the mo' so was wondering how difficult or practical it is for a total newbie to maintainance to change them. I need plugs and a torque wrench? Where exactly are the plugs? ( i said total newbie!). Is there an idiots guide anywhere online? __________________ N-reg 940 turbodiesel estate (classic) - "Big Beastie" (now deceased) M-reg 940 estate (SE) LPG/Petrol (awaiting scrappage) 1998 S70 CD 2.5 auto LPG/petrol
