Hello, I have a 1.9 GP mjet, 57 plate. Only done 35000 miles and in good nik.
I've had a lot of problems starting the car up in the last 6 months or so. Sometimes takes a couple of goes and doesn't seem to matter if its cold or warm. I had the EGR replaced earlier in the year by Arnold Clark and since they fitted this I never felt the car drove the same way again.
So I went back to Arnold Clark about the starting up problems and they fitted me a new Air Valve Regulator, (thinking it was still and EGR problem and it was still under warranty) and I parted with another huge wad . Not happy because it made no difference to my original starting up issues. I had thought it would be a glow plug or alternator issue but they said no.
Anyway went to another garage for another opinion and he couldn't find anything wrong. I decided to change the battery, it's now been to yet another mechanic and again no one can find a problem.
I'm at a loss. I need my car for work so it need to be reliable. Can anyone help?
Cheers,
R.
