when i bought my casr, regardless of temperature as long as the glow plug light was out on the dash the car would start almost instantly. Since then i've done about 15000 miles, and serviced the car twice, including oil, all filters and two new sets of glow plugs (because the first set were inferior). I've also cleaned the inlet manifold and EGR, boost sensor etc. Ive ALSO replaced the right hand side intercooler pipe because it had split, other than this ive done nothing to the engine.
When i turn the car over from stone cold, it takes 3 or 4 attempts at turning over before it'll catch and then for a second or two it'll run rough as if only one or two pots are running, then it may continue to run roughish for about 20seconds after. it does of course chuck out a whole lot of blue smoke once it ignites (unburnt diesel i assume).
Any idea what my problem is, because i'd like it back to how it was, even though technically this isnt causing me a problem in day to day life.
