COULD HAVE BAD FUEL WRONG TYPE FUEL COULD NEED NEW AIR FILTER. DIESEL ENGINE NEEDS AIR TO OPERATE.IF AIR FILTER RESTRICTED.DIESEL ENGINE WONT RUN AND CLOGGED FUEL FILTER CAUSE STARTING PROBLEMS PROBLEMS WITH TURBOCHARGER OR TURBOCHARGER ACTUATOR WOULD CAUSE ENGINE RUN VERY SLOW NO POWER ON TAKE OFF.I SAY PROBLEM IN FUEL SYSTEM OR AIR INTAKE SYSTEM.IF YOU HAD ANY OTHER PROBLEMS THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL FLASH ON.
Thanks for your response, much appreciated. I'll get the fueld and air intake checked out. Interstingly this issue is worse whent eh engine is warm. Do you think that the fuel/air may still be the issue? One concern i had was that the EGR valve may be stuck, do you know if this could cause starting issues or a way to easily test it? thanks
EGR VALVE HAS TO BE REPLACED IF THEY FAIL. MOST OF THE TIME IF YOU HAVE EGR VALVE PROBLEMS. THE PORT HOLE ON INTAKE WHERE EGR SET ON BECOME CLOGGED WITH CARBON.OR EGR VALVE ITSELF FAULTY.CHECK EGR VALVE ELECTRICAL CONNECTION MAKE SURE CONNECTOR IN PLACE TIGHT. TO CHECK EGR VALVE IT TAKES DEALERSHIP SCANNER TO CHECK IT.
this is the same problem I had I have changed the EGR valve and the car is back to form.

Thanks for your quick response. i'll get those checked out. interestingly the problem is worse when the engine is warm - do you still think it could be related to these? one concern I had was that the EGR valve was jammed but dont know how to check that either
