Another fault! hehe
In the last few days my 51 plate JTD Diesel has decided not to start when warm. The starter turns over at normal speed but the lump won't fire. It will bump off when warm (i know i shouldn't but when you gotta get going, you gotta get going) and the water level is fine, so the head gasket/stat etc... are fine.
Any ideas? It has been suggested that the starter motor might be past it's best but why would it turn at normal speed and work more or less fine when cold??
Any input appreciated as i need to rectify the problem sharpish... i don't even dare fuel up incase it won't fire again!!
Cheers
