Hi I have a 1998 1.7 Diesel Vauxhall Corsa, its done 155,000 miles.
Recently my car has not been able to start when it is warm.
It will start without any problems when cold. However when trying to start once warm it will make a fairly fast and loud fan like noise, I am not sure that the engine is actually being turned over. Once left alone for a few minutes the car will start without any problems.
Glow plugs were replaced earlier this year. Starter motor was worked harder than usual last winter because glow plugs were on the way out. This problem has only just started, once it began to get cold for this winter.
Any suggestions as to what it could be? I have heard that starter motors for this car are expensive, would anyone know how much just incase it has gone?
Thanks in advance,
Chris
