POOR STARTING?

HI,

 

 I have a 2006 2.2cdti sport FR-V.

 

I love it and so does our 10 year old in the middle seat:-)

 

I recently had to do a couple of thousand miles in a matter of three weeks - the car has already done 166,000 miles, but has never missed a beat.

 

The car drives great, but I have noticed it is taking longer to crank.

 

it would previously start in a second , but now it i taking between 2-5 ?

 

One started , it drives fine, no loss of power,etc, and doing a reasonable 41-44 mpg on a run. ( I am not a boy racer :-) )

 

I am not a mechanic but should I be concerned , as I have to do another  thousand miles over the next two weeks.

 

This is motorway driving.

 

Thanks

 

Keith

Sounds like it could be the fuel filter needs changing.
This can result in less fuel in the canister and taking longer to prime up

You can tell if this is the case as the rubber bulb takes more to pump up to get firmer which suggests this is the case
