[Inamess]

hi guys new to this and would be greatful for some advice,about 2 years ago my pug wouldn't start when cold so i just left it as i had other cars to use,i,ve just decided to put it back on road as i miss the comfy ride,so replaced the glow plug just in case and every thing else still works (result) but it still doesn't start from cold even on a warm day ? spray a tiny bit of easy start in air box and it starts first time no problem,any ideas as to what this could be ? many thanks...phil

have been playing about with car to see what it will or wont do to give more of an idea what the problem could be...
as i said with easy start it will start first turn of the key,if i go out couple of hours later it will start start while some warmth left in engine,if left till car is cold even on a hot day like today it will just turn over and over ? help

took filter out today and gave it a shake,after about 15 spins it started without easy start,so hopefully new filter and seal should sort it thanks john.
