Taking slightly longer to start engine.
Noticed recently that my D3 is taking slightly longer to start.
Not too long but just slightly longer.
Been noticeable since I had the FBH back up n running.
Any ideas why?I was a normal heterosexual chap, but in these new woke awakenings I now identify as a Wardrobe.

Could be an injector leaking back , ie slight loss of fuel pressure causing it to take longer to start as having to crank a little longer to get the fuel pressure back up ?

Battery ok Chris - more of a fuel rather than power issue.
Valid point to check TO.

Do a leak off test on the injectors.
Remove spill pipes and soak up fuel in the top of the injectors.
Clamp off the spill pipe where it would return back to the pump.
Ignition on for a few seconds and then off.
Check each injector to see if any fuel has risen up where the spill pipes would fit on. If fuel present , you have a leaking injector

Is it turning over at the same speed as it always has (starter/Battery/Alternator if not) or is it just taking onger to start? (Injectors,Fuel pump/fuel filter?)Bodsys Brake Bible

Same speed, just slightly longer to fire up.
Mainly when cold.
As said not a big issue .... boredom made me post this !I was a normal heterosexual chap, but in these new woke awakenings I now identify as a Wardrobe.
