Did you say the fuel filter had been changed?
Still sounds like air is getting in the system

The only thing the guy told me that it had fitted was a glow plug pre heat switch

Maybe the filter is clogged then, any service history?

The fuel filter, if it has mainly been ran on supermarket crap fuel, it clogs up quickly.
First thing I'd do is service it anyway

Hi. I have the same problem. Mine will fire off easy start and then run fine all day until the next morning. I am thinking injector seal leaking and getting fuel system air locked. Did u ever get to the cause? Thanks

Just a update. Fitted new injector seals over the weekend and now the van has started 1st turn every morning since. Fingers crossed it has sorted the problem.

What sort of price was this to be done?

I am a mechanic so did it myself. The seals cost me £20 off eBay a d some new stretch bolts from tps another £20.its not too bad a job if you are mechanical minded and got the tools. 👍
