My auto 3.0 diesal has problems on the first start of the day. It starts fine after that. Have checked battery and earth terminals. Have changed heater plugs any other suggestions. Thanks Fil

Coud be the glow plug timer or relay, are you waiting for the glow plug relay to click when turning the key.

Check the fuel lines especially near the fuel tank. It's been mentioned elswhere on the forum. They get corroded. Mine has started leaking approx 50ml over-night and takes a few turns of the motor (5 to 6 seconds) before it will start. I guess it has to re-fill the fuel line on first start. Must get it sorted.
