Hi I have a 52 plate 1.5 dci Renault kangoo and have problems when restarting after a shortish stop on hot days, can require a number of attempts. But it always starts. Does anybody have any idea what this could be? Your help is very much appreciated.
Many Thanks, Adam.

The Kangoo is very intolerant of low fuel levels and can suffer from air ingress in the fuel system. Moniter the problem and see if you get the problem more when the fuel level is below half a tank.
I've known them not start and be impossible to bleed until the fuel tank has been filled.

Thanks for your reply the first time it happened the diesel light was on so it is possible that there could be air in the system. Once again thanks for your help.
