Hi
Ive a 205 grd which im having troubles starting. When i go first thing in a morning to start the car all my lights come on which go out when my ignition light does. the car wants to start but wont catch. there is a new battery on and plenty of fuel, oil, water etc. Once the car starts its fine and runs all day without a problem. I have checked the alternator direct to the battery and this is fine. Could it be glow plugs?
Struggling as to what else it could be. Always starts first time usually. Any ideas???

More than likely the glow plugs need replacing.Its about the only thing that stops these old diesels from starting.Before they are replaced get a test meter on them just to make sure the timer/relay is working.
