How long has it been sitting around since it was last started.
I had a second hand Td5 which sat in my shed for about 5 years before I fitted it.
I had hell trying to get it started.

I reckon 2-3 years of not running when I bought it late Feb, I think its been cranked over by me for 3-4 min all up. I did crank it for a minute with the fuel relay removed to get the oil circulating first.Quote:

I gave a squirt of Aerostart & it kicked ( but I doubt this helped) & after 3 more 10 sec goes on the starter she started to kick over, Within another 10sec it settled down & starts first go now.
Obviously they can take a bit of purging - I was worried last night because the fuel pressure gauge had a release valve & the expelled diesel soon was bubble free.
