I regularly watch a channel called Salvage Rebuilds UK on YouTube. https://www.youtube.com/c/salvagerebuildsuk
They recently bought an ex fleet diesel Vauxhall Combo Van (with a Fiat engine fitted IIRC). It had exactly the same problem. An absolute bitch to start from cold, but would then start again and run all day without further issues.
Turns out it was the injectors.
Here is the full playlist. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL...HYjiUr9LBb
They also had another van with the same problems. Yet again it was faulty injectors.
Despite their trade contacts, the replacement injectors were not cheap.
