147 JTD Starting problems
Hi
After 6 years with no problems, my 2003 Alfa 147 1.9 JTD is suddenly reluctant to start. The ignition turns the engine over as normal, with all normal lights etc, but doesn't fire. Waiting a while seems to cure it.
The battery seems fine, and when it does eventually start, it runs normally.
Two things which may simply be coincidence - firstly Ive noticed a buzzing/whirring sound from the off-side rear wheel area (which I presume is the fuel pump) which I dont think was present before (or at least seems noisier). And second, when the problem has occured, the engine has been hot having only been turned off for a short time.
I'd appreciate any help, as the car's really unreliable in its present state.
Thanks
