Default early morning starting problems

Sorry if this has been asked loads of times but my series 2 would not start this morning and when it did it was not driveable. I have been told it could be due to the cold weather in the morning.

Also I was told when the car was setup the injectors were probably leaking as its always taken a few turns to start in a morning.

Any help on what you think it could be would be very appreciated.

sounds like you need a decent tune up and setup.

Get it to a local RS specialists, NOT just any garage.


If you bring it to me ill have a look for free and advise you the best i can.

That's a good offer Jano.

Thread hijack but how much do you charge for a set up and where are you ?

I charge around Ł40-50 depending how long it takes to static tune then we go out on the road to check and make sure its 100%

Depending on what system your using i will map it on the road using dett cans and a laptop. If you have MFi etc.. obviously no laptop involved.

A power graph on the rollers costs Ł30 extra

I am in upminster in Essex.
