I have a 1998 Freelander diesel which is hard to start first thing of a morning or after it has sat for about 8 hours or more. It had new injectors 12k ago glow plugs are working, compression is good. The injector pump was replaced 12k ago. Any ideas would be helpful.

Advance the pump 1/4 of a tooth. I have had a few of these do this. Mine included

I did it myself. I was a mechanic for a dealer when these were new.

Pics of the injection pump belt and its pullys. The pully on the right can move - loosen the four bolts and adjust 1/4 tooth.
