Couldn’t tell you Stuart to be honest as I’ve never bought one myself. A quick Google throws up a few places but I couldn’t vouch for any of them I’m afraid.

We have had 2 pajeros both with cold start problems,my man has tried mostly everything,glow plugs,relays,fuel pump,tank sender the lot,to no avail…..so he has fitted an electric fuel pump to feed the injector pump and bleed it clear of any air seems to work a treat,I know cos I use it for work every day and often found it very embarrassing sitting at the side of the road covered in Gray/black smoke trying to get it started again….give it a try folks ul a amazed how well it works……..

hi toni, just bought a 2.5 td exceed iv had the usual probs starting the darn thing! changed both bats new glow plugs had reconned alternator, works great except i keep having to get the bonnet up every morn and also if the cars been standing for more than a couple of hrs to stick a wire on my batt to warm the plugs, well yeah thats been doing the trick but its getting colder and so decided to buy a gr19 and hopefully its going to work. how hard will it be to change? as im going to try and do this myself. the guy who i spoke to when i orederd the relay has had calls from all over the country for this part. and for under 25 squid inc postage i thinks mint just hope it works, its going to help no end wasnt looking forward to cleaning the 6″ of snow off before starting my moody paj. has any1 else used this part and how long has it lasted? thanks louise

Hi all, great post.
I have. 97 shogun 2.8 and apart from the cold start issue it’s a great machine. It’s hard to start but once it does and spits out blue/black smoke she runs perfect after 30 seconds and for he rest of the day. Is there anything I should try before the relay ie. Fuel filter, glow plugs as I can tackle these but reluctant to do relay.
Any advice appreciated.

Abe

Good luck with it Donna. I guess you’ll get plenty of men offering to do the job for you!

My lad, Tyson (he is big,black,hard as f**k and eats the ears of Clio’s), will start first turn of the key but has a stutter and eventually he cant cope, so he coughs up a bit of smoke and stumbles to a halt which is totally embarassing and inconvenient. I haven’t even got off the front drive at this point! I have tried pumping the fuely thing by hand and this makes no differnce when he is cold in the mornings but once he has started and not collapsed he will go on all day without failing to start. I also find that when i put my foot down a little he seems to pull back on me and i get all juddered by him. I love my car and he is essential to me feeding my horses in the morning. I will try this relay thing and hopefully he will be back in the mix soon! Thank you all for your advice, now I need to find a man to do the job for me…any offers? lol!
