    Right.

    Thinking leakoff pipes. Sounds like no fuel getting in, got half a tank in at the moment. Tried carb cleaner into intake but still no go. Any other ideas on getting her going? Im not at home.

    Sorry this is brief - on an iphone.

    Cheers.

    Can you get a tow off someone? 2nd gear clutch up, will get the fuel through within 100' of road.

    That's a good guide I found this morning which next time mine doesn't start for whatever reason I'll be trying.

    Didn't think of a push start. Cracked the injector pipes off and tried cranking over but never got any diesel to the injectors. Going to try a new fuel filter tomorrow. It's parked up at my dads mates garage.

    No thought of trying to push start it!

    Cheers everyone.

    Are you 100% sure you don't get fuel to the injectors? Tried a cheap code reader if you're getting any fuel pump ECU faults?

    We cranked it in total for a good 30 seconds and not so much as a dribble, no. If its still the same tomorrow, I'll go and have a look at it tomorrow with OP-COM.

    Alright mate,

    I recently had this problem, I chaned the Glow plugs, Fuel filter, leak off pipes, then finally injector seals which solved the problem.

    You might want to get a battery booster or Jumps so you dont drain the battery either when your cranking it so many times which i did!

    also dont know if this is true but parking it on a slope facing down.

    Hope this helps
