Car Forum / Australian Car Forums / 4x4 Cars (Australian group) / June 2007difficulty starting Pajero
I have a 2.8 Turbo Diesel Pajero wagon that has just had a service. However, due to cold setting in down here in Melbourne it is getting very hard to start in the mornings. I have had the glow plugs replaced, but still have the same problem. Someone has suggested that it could be the injectors. If this is the case, what sort of cost am I looking at for: a. new/reconditioned ones b. to get them fitted. If it is not the injectors, can anyone suggest could be the mechanical problem causing the car to be hard to start.

If not its not likely to be an injector problem. A bit more info might help, how old is it and how many klms has it done? Does it crank over properly or is it a bit slow? How long do the glow plugs stay on for, I don't know a lot about your model but some glow plug systems work on a timer, if the timer cuts out too early the glow plugs won't get hot enough. Does it start easily when its hot? Daryl Blows a bit of smoke at start-up and when under load (going up hills) Car is my sons and it is a 95 Pajero that has done about 200,00km Cranks over fine Unsure how long the plugs stay on for and it will start ok after it has been running for a while and then stopped. Hope this helps Thanks Rick > Is it blowing lots of black smoke and using lots of fuel? > If not its not likely to be an injector problem.

That make me even more suspicious of the glow plug timer. Daryl It appears it was the glow plugs. They have been replaced and it seems to be better. Thanks for the advice >I have a 2.8 Turbo Diesel Pajero wagon that has just had a service. >However, due to cold setting in down here in Melbourne it is getting very [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > Thanks > Rick > It appears it was the glow plugs.

Or the first year fitted them and broke them in the process. Daryl >>>> It appears it was the glow plugs. They have been replaced and it seems >>>> to be better.
