W202 c250td - starting problem

[GMC]

Hi all

I'm after a bit of advice in connection with a problem I had for the last week getting the car running. First attempt to start the car in the day results in having to turn the engine over for a minute or two before it struggles into life. Glow plug lights come on and go off as they should, so have narrowed this down to there being air which can easliy be seen in the clear fuel lines under the bonnet. Spoke to my local inde garage who were very helpful suggesting what the problem might be and indicated there was a kit available to stop the back syphoning of diesel when the car is parked up.

So has anyone got any experience of such a kit or similar problem and if so has anyone fitted one before?
