Diesel X5 - Difficulty Starting on cold mornings!

[ianglasgow]

Hello Powers1.
I do get a fair amount of white smoke from the exhaust but, as it is so cold at the moment, I would expect that anyway.

Unfortunately, I can't get the rubber boot off any of the glow plugs (I can see No.1 but don't have sufficient access to remove it). Interesting what you say about diesel and indeed, the problems have only started in the last few days!!

I have a number of BMW technicians in my area and will contact them tomorrow to discuss my problem - today is still a holiday here.

I will let you know how I get on.
