1996 1905cc-Not starting - Senoj
hi,

Its a TD and has always had difficulty starting if i don't drive it for a few days in cold weather, but today it didn't start despite me taking it for a 25min drive yesterday. Whilst struggling to start the central locking was locking and unlocking randomly. The electrics have been temperamental as well i.e back windscreen wiper, sun roof, central locking despite the fuses being fine. Do I just need a new battery or could it be something else?

Any views are greatly received.

Thanks.

I think I'd start by checking all the glow-plugs were functional and being fed from the relay.
