Got a phone call from an ex workmate, who has been experiencing extremely hard starting in his diesel 6 (pre-chamber, 4.2L). Glowplugs were around 12 months old, so he went back to the mechanic and complained.
Glowplugs tested alright, so they pulled some fuel.
Found a little water, a layer of diesel, and reputedly an "oily" layer of something on top of the diesel, which has apparently been seen on another couple of hard starters in the district.
Fuel was from a name brand station, who has a good reputation.
Any ideas ?
