Driving on N2 I got like a hic up and then back to normal without stopping continued to work.After work started got the shop .Finished shopping started up , engine swinging but not firing up.Towed home checked all belts turning. Vehicle started on push start.Left Overnight started up straight away with one swing.
Therese enough diesel and lately may be 2 to 3 swings before fires up.
Could this be the glop lugs or just maybe a complete service ?

Warm diesel engines do not need the glow system to start, with the engine warm to hot the glow system is inop, sounds more like a fuel problem, check for any loose wires around injection pump, are there any fuel leaks?
