Diesel cars with DPF are NOT good town cars

[newpersn]

I got a 1.9 non turbo'd 306.

 

Great round town and brill on mways.

 

Pain in the ass to start in the morning but fun to drive.

 

Old is better imo.

Have you tried cleaning or replacing your glow plug relay? Also check and clean and protect all earth points, especially the ones hidden under the battery tray.

 

Do that and fit a new battery if its over 3 years old and starting should be a doddle!

 

Also, change your fuel filter every 6000 miles. They're only a few quid from Euro Car Parts.
