Hi, have a Renault Master Van yr2000 (SD28 2.5)
Difficult to start first thing in the morning. Lot of smoke when it starts (burning excess fuel i guess). Once started, will start easily all day - even after 3 or 4 hrs.

Have tried allowing glow plugs to come on 4 or 5 times before trying to start. Cheers.

hi mate,i worked at renault for about 8yrs until recently...... make sure you have a good supply voltage to the glow plug when the ignition is initally turned on.....if you have lots of smoke that means the fuel is getting through but not being fully ignited... definately seems like a few glow plugs may have bit the dust!!!....they can be a bit of a nightmare to remove on these engines,i suggest you run the engine and get the head warm first

Hi, i would say your heater plugs arent working, try to replace them, it might be worth doing your fuel fillters and air fillter as well.
