Hi,

I have a 2005 V50 2.0D. It’s done 66,000 miles. Recently it’s been very slightly slow to start (new battery/new glow plugs) no fix. Starter motor turns it well.
Further to that, sometimes, only when cold 1 in 10 times it won’t start for a while requiring 30s or more of cranking before it slowly jumps to life nearly flattening the new battery!

Oddly no associated Fault-codes. DTC clear.

Local garage can’t fix as when it with them… Of course it starts ok.

Is anyone able to suggest a solution?
