I’ve had the exact same issue today…Started fine this morning, drove around for a while and parked up, came back to the car a while later, took several attempts and a bit of accelerator for it to start. After that, all is well. 🤯

At this point, I would find a garage that can;
- Perofrm a walnut blast.
- Ultrasonic bath & Clean all the injectors.
- Check Injector seats for leaks.
- Replace anything that needs replacing.

Yeh will try get pressure tested etc dont quite have loads of money to do a walnut blasting at this minute tbf..

So tricky haha...

Just saw online the cam follower seems easy enough to do but cant see that doing the hard hot start/smell now and again... this hot weather isn't helping tbf probably haha... oil and water temps always fine.

Yeah I totally get that mate, I think all of us are feeling the sqeeze atm.

I did the cam follower myself when I bought my Eddy, its easy to do, just take your time. I followed this guide... (Watch it from 10:05)
