I've a 2004 Toyota Avensis 2.0TD D4D and its a bugger to get started in the mornings. I've had new heater plugs fitted and its made no difference.

Ultimately i have to 'churn' the car with approx 30% throttle until it 'lifts' and even then i have to keep it churning as its lifting to make it go.

Once it starts for the day, its pretty much ok, however its never 'instant'.

The car has 107K on it.
