So my Berlingo won't start in the morning. I've had heater plugs replaced, I've primed fuel pump until it's firm, no air bubbles and still no start. I have to get a push start every morning to get it going but once it's going, it will restart generally fine after that for the day. Managed to get it started with easy start spray too.
Any ideas?

You need fuel, air, compression - and a little warmth to kick it off. I'd first check the glowplug relay, then the pump timing. Not sure what cold start mechanism it has on the pump, but someone else will have an idea on checking this detail.

My cold start mechanism wasn't working when I bought the car. Someone had tweaked it so it was permanently on fast idle. When I reset it to normal idle it wouldn't start easily. Or rather it would start then it would die until the engine had warmed up a bit.
I'm fairly sure someone on here told me the part no. then I bought one but can't remember if it was from the dealers or from ebay. You'll need a 32mm spanner if you do decide it needs changing.

It's on the passenger wing
