Ok folks, riddle me this, starting procedure prior to putting new air filter (bosch) in was as follows, key in, turn, wait for glow plug indicator to go out, crank for two seconds then switch off and redo sequence engine would then start straight away. Now having put new air filter on the engine has to be cranked three maybe four times for up to ten seconds a time before it eventually fires up with a puff of white smoke.....curious,unfortunately cannot put old air filter back in to test as went in dustbin to be taken away before this problem reared its head, now I am wondering crank sensor (one on order), coolant sensor, injector problem, leak off pipe problem or what ?????? Is it possible for a dodgy air filter to completely restrict air flow though never heard of such a thing. Once it has started it starts first time everytime all day long until left overnight again. All thoughts gratefully received
