Re: Problem starting
Where did you buy the starter motor from and what make is it? Lots of bosch starters are now made in latin america and they are not necessarily much good. It could also be earthing problems. I suggest that you get it checked out by somebody who has serious diagnostic skills, because problems with starting will drive you nuts before long.

Check your batterys not wonky/full of barnicles.
And check that the earth lead and + are tight on the battery terminals too.
Annnd make sure that when you've locked the van up you havent left any interior lights on overnight, you know what you're like lol

Was told i could insert some acid tablets in the battery!!!
Seems like the glow plug light is taking a long time to go off, does that mean new glow plugs?
