2.0hdi hard to start from cold

[stu9]

Is the head wet with diesel near the injectors?

Dont know but I'll look next time I'm out....I'll also check these bolts too, cheers

But I also know ive got a bad earth as the battery is only a few months old but the dials jump and milage goes to 8888888s most times I start it. Do you guys get that as well?

I dont think mine starts/turns quick enough when cold, quick enough when warm though, could be the the battery starting to chuck because I quite often get that mess in the clocks too
