Could it be Glow Plugs?? - 07 Navara D40

Hey Guys

My Navara used to have a "very" random problem which has now become nearly a daily event - when you start it cold it stalls within a few seconds & then won't restart ..

Jumped in this morning to take my daughter to work. Wait for glow plug light to go out, started car & boom she stalled, tried to restart and wouldn't ... had about 3 attempts before letting it sit for 5mins then tried again - started & stalled .. same again - had another couple of shots & walked away in disgust!!

Had a ciggy to enhance my calm LOL, jumped back in and she started & drove away fine ???

I've been using Caltex Vortex Diesel since I bought Frank a year ago & the last 6mths has pretty much been bought at the same servo every time so can't see how it'd be the fuel. I did however put injector cleaner in the tank when I filled it up on Wednesday?? (full 300ml bottle to a full tank of diesel as per the instructions on the bottle)

Will get the boys at work to look at him next week but just wanted to ask you guys your opinions?

Could be fuel pump timing?? Now the injectors are clean dunno wild guess but don't rekin itd be glow plugs or it would be hard to start in the first instance


Tap, Tap.......Who's there?

If it's very cold over there atm, the fuel may be waxing up.
