    hi,

    I have a 05 320cd coupe and recently i notice and intermittent problem, in the mornings the car just wont start, it turns over but wont engage. what i have noticed...

    its normally on cold mornings
    when i turn the key to the on position and leave it for about 2-5 mins it will start after that
    i notice there is a humming sound that kicks in after i turn the key and it starts were as if the humming sound is not there it wont start but after i have left the key in the ignition for 2-5 mins the hummming sound comes on and i know i can then start the car.


    any ideas?

    Ya the humming sound is the fuel pump.
    Try swaping the fuel pump relay.

    you reckon? i was leaning towards something else, im curious to why it comes on after i have left the key in the on position... glow plugs?

    edit: thanks lads ill have a look. is that a big job? something i can do? also there is only 27k on the clock :(
