Over the last week or so engine turns over quite a few times before it starts, but once engine is warm it starts first click.
Anyone out there able to give me some idea of what it could be please?

Thought about heater plugs, but I understood direct injection didn't have them.

Hi there.
You will need to go and get a battery check asap. The battery is the heart of the device and it sounds like yours might be on the way out. If you leave it, you risk damaging the starter motor and that will cost you.
If the battery is fine, they can check the starter motor, leads etc. for you - I am pretty sure from your description the problem is somewhere there. These cars are rock solid, just as long as you maintain them faithfully and nip these problems in the bud. My 51 reg is still going like a dream!
Good luck, Steve.

Hi Mal
Sounds like a fuel problem mate.
If it turns over ok, the batts ok, changed the fuel filter recently? i assume your using normal road diesel. seems like the pump perhaps, i have an 02 406 estate, a while ago i had a few issues starting, Pug want loads of money to look at it. so i popped into a local garage, looked abit dodgy to be honest, but they checked the pipes and found that all the fuel was draining back into the tank and not holding up the pressure, about £20 later fixed, turns over and starts on the 2/3 turn in any weather, no problems since. so give this a whirl, nothing to lose.
good luck

Sounds like heater plugs. Get them checked by an auto electrician. It sounds as if there may be 1 or 2 faulty. If all 4 were all gone, it would,nt start at all when cold. Should cost about £15 quid each plus checking and fitting.

It will need new heater plugs, they cost around £15 each and there's four, it's half an hour of a job to fit them.
Don't just fit one change all of them it is just false economy replacing 1 or 2.
So all in all your looking at about £80 for them to be done at a garage.
Don't pay anymore than £100

Sounds like a very small leak in the fuel lines. Lets the fuel run back into the tank when you park it up so in the morning you have to churn and churn it over till it primes.
