Noticed that the Bravo has been more reluctant too start in the last few months, put it down to the cold weather and not remembering to double glow. This morning however i didn't glow as the temperature was pretty fair and it took a good ten seconds before it started, accompanied by a blue/white cloud of smoke. Also the car has used a bit of oil for the first time ever.
Car is around six thousand miles away from the next scheduled service, but I reckon the glow plugs are about fifty thousand miles/two years old. Its a 1.9 150, should I be overly concerned? It does usually start OK but only if I double glow which to me suggests the plugs. MOT in the next month and I think the flywheel is on the way out anyway, so I'll be getting that looked at with the MOT before the warranty expires mid April.
Many thanks in advance.
