I bought an M reg (1995) Peugeot 205 about a week ago. It's a 1.8 diesal but sometimes it takes ages to get it started. Has anyone got any ideas what this could be? The starter motor is going but the engine just won't turn over. Takes about 15 secs or so before it starts. Having to rev it a bit too once it's started but then it runs fine. Infact better than the 106 It starts fine once it's warm.

It only cost me £150. Basically it was run for two years without a service (30,000) miles and the dude thought it had seen it’s days. All it needed was a service which I’ve had done, which cost £70, needs a new driver seat, get that off eBay and some new wheel trims which I’ve already got from the 106. Gonna sell it for 1k !!! The body is perfect, just needed polishing.

You do know you've gotta wait for the orange light on the dash to go out before you start a diesel 
Also, when I start my diesel on a cold morning, it runs like shit
Live with it, that's the thing with diesels
