Diesel Escort difficult to start
I have a 1993 escort 1.8 diesel
The past two weeks the car has been difficult to start from cold.
Am i correct in thinking that the glow plugs are in need of replacement?
Could this be a diesel pump issue??
thanks guys

Re: Diesel Escort difficult to start
Hi
I also had a problem with starting up (same vehicle), i would have to
start it twice and then just about get it turning over, the other day
it just stopped, dead, nothing! it wouldnt start. I called AA and he
said starter motor needs changing. Done that! (£80 ouch!) now it
starts first time every time.

Re: Diesel Escort difficult to start
generally its just a glow plug issue, never owned a ford diesel so it could
be different but its a simple engine so probably not, but my vw diesel also
had some sort of glow plug fuse box(dont remember the name) it tells the
glow plugs to glow and those can go bad, on my vw it would usually warn with
you a clicking sound before it went bad
