My Avensis Will Not Start After A Long Journey

[Teddyboy2]

Hi after a 75 mile trip the other week,my bullet proof Toyota wouldn't start ,once it was stone cold it did start,car is d4d diesel is it fairly likely to assume injectors or is there anything else,I have changed fuel filter and air filter

Thanks ted

Is the 1cd or ad.. ive heard off hard starting when warm it is caused by starter motor

Yeah, has been a semi-common problem on older 2.0 D4D's.

Hi guys many thanks for replies,it also on setting off on 75 mile trip made some strange noises on left hand side od car,would you recommend buying a new starter motor to rectify it's a 55 plate it's easily been the best car I have ever owned and I am 44 and have owned quite a few
