hi wonder if anyone can shed some expertise on my vivaro's problems. 2003 sportive 1.9 dti on 200,000 miles and 3 rd gearbox now!!! 2 weeks ago it started having difficulties to start.it would always start, but after a few seconds would stall. it would then be a pig to get going, taking 7 - 10 seconds to crank over before finally starting. last week the engine stop light came on so i took it to an indy and plugged in the snap on code reader. it gave an answer of engine preheat assembly as the fault som i assume glow plugs. we cleared the fault, i changed all 4 plugs, and all is well. i week later and its a pig to start, and lights are back on.
HELP
van does 40 mpg 110 mph( not at same time) and is a pleasure to drive. until now
