Morning HJ, conversely my 240 starts with 1/2 to 1 1/2 turns and fires up....with a bit of lumpiness sometimes for about 20-40 seconds then settles nicely. It's only the hot start issue, which I've tried to address through advise given on this forum, which is giving me a headache. Not such a problem in winter. The improved starting and running since I bought the car in June has been down to listening/reading good advice and consequent learning (through Haynes etc) which has enabled me to do some basic "stuff" to improve it upon where it was...which is one of the reasons why I got the car in the first place.

I suspect "mild leaks in" in the pulsair ERG are there, but very minute currently. Death by a thousand cuts would probably be the best analogy! But hopefully that point in time is a long time coming!!

Cheers

JG
