Peaugeot 405 turbo D 95(Trouble Starting in the morning).

White smoke is unburnt fuel. So we can assume that the stop (fuel) solenoid is OK.

There is a thread on this above which would be worth reading. Check that the heater plugs are getting a 12 volt supply when the light is on (and they will continue to be supplied for a time after). If not then the control relay is faulty.

The injectors might need cleaning. Try some diesel injector cleaning additive in the fuel, and take it for a good run. When it is warmed up, push it hard in a lower gear to get all the crud out of the system.

The only other possibility is that the compression is down, perhaps due to incorrect valve clearances. You can check this roughly by jacking up one front wheel, put it in 5th gear and turn the wheel. You will get one compression stroke per half turn, and even with a cold engine, you should find it quite hard to turn over compression. With a hot engine it should be very hard. Also all four cylenders should feel about the same.

I take it the car starts fine when hot?

Thanks again to Brian,found out the six month old injectors had died strange,maybe they were cheap ones.New glowplus now working fine. Thanks again for your help.
