New (19996) tdi 300 CSW
Lovely!!
One odd thing - when I turn the ignition switch on there is sometimes a slight pause/hesitation before the starter motor engages
Any comments or advice?

Check battery earth strap and earth strap between chassis and engine .. and of course starter connections!
Possibly a sticky solenoid or dirty solenoid contacts.
My TD lump fires on the button... engine swap? ;0)
...it's just thinking about it....
My 1968 S11A does the same - there's usually a 2 second wait between turning the key & the engine beginning to turn
It's been doing that for decades, I've always been worried about it, one day I might investigate it :)
