2000 Vauxhall Combo no warning lights. normal electrical dash check and preheat

Car: Vauxhall Combo
Year: 2000
Variant: 1.7tdi
Categories: Running Rough, Starting & Power Loss
Help !!!! My Combo van for about a year now wont start when warm ! Runs fine with no problems when on the road. However I can go to it after its cooled down around 12 hours later and it starts slowly!

But if ive just driven a mile it simply wont start. I have to pop the bonnet and spray easy start into the air intake while turning the key !!!

(Im not mechanicly minded)Ive taken it to local garages and they have all scratched their heads, and a Vauxhall service tech cant find a fault. But suggested it could be the ECU !

Can anyone point me any direction please ?

Could be the soldered joint inside your edu unit that sits on the rear of the engine,you need to remove it open it up ,you will have to cut the sealant,you will see there's a pin with solder round it ,you just need to carefully re-solder this joint,and obviously re seal the unit. Just this control,s all your pump functions ,stop solenoid,etc.
