This morning it's refusing to start properly. It's cranking then very lazily starting at low revs, like it's about to cut out. Then seems to be ok.

Any ideas anybody?

Just this very minute tried it again, seems to have sorted itself out [emoji848]

I've recently replaced the battery

Check the battery connections (I changed a battery on my porsche, thought I tightened it, didn't and it wouldn't start 5 days later turns out I didn't connect it very well)

Otherwise I'm unsure
 
Air in the fuel lines/injector issue?

I'm no expert on diesels but that sounds plausible to me. They lose fuel system pressure when left sitting overnight etc and takes a while for the pressure to build back up again/air to bleed out.

Maybe worth looking into or having checked out if the problem persists, maybe have a specialist take a look for diagnosis either way :)
 
Try and tight the battery terminal very well or check the battery status weather is low or in bad condition
