This is a fairly normal problem. This engine does take a lot of starting when cold. Have you got a thermostart fitted as this will be a great help? If you have a problem it is more than likely low compression rather than injectors or pump. The thermostart is fitted in the front of the intake manifold near where the rubber hose fits on. It is operated by the start key. Turn it until the warning lights go out, just before the start position, hold it here for 20-30secs then move to start. The oil will go black and this is nothing to do with fuel in the crankcase. If fuel were getting down there it would give the oil a clear look. Diesel engines have an oil that holds carbon particles in suspension and stops them gumming things up in the engine. The oil will normally go black minutes after a change. This shows it is doing its job.
