HELP car wont start

[r5gtt]

Get some easy start in there mate, bet it will start lol

Okay pumps working then?.

Try the above  Sometimes it's a fuelling issue as ive had the odd one causing this issue when I used to work with a 60 year old bloke who knew his diesel engines but now deceased so here's hoping I'm right.

Easy start? oh god. Dont cars get addicted to that?

It's not a drug addict  Sometimes it's resolves the problem. 

If I were there I'd help you out mate

I've done 5 of these t belts and never had the tool so used a 4.5 mm drill bit to lock the cam up closest to bulk head. haha

Will report back tomorrow lads...if i can get child cover

I also want to go out on a limb and assume the "oil pressure warning" that comes on after a lot of cranking is normal?

Did this light presuming its red come on when you had your car running and just before it cut off???

Well when amd me 60 year old pal used this to start one up min 2014 it fixed itself.

Sometimes an old fuel filter needs replacing due to blockage. Could also be the cam sensor but no fault codes so see what happens if you get her running tomorrow which I'm guessing you will. 

Lets hope you don't have a bad fuel pump.

EDIT when we're the glow plugs last replaced?.
maybe a good idea to test them.

Good luck

Easy start got her to splutter back to life :)

but now the bonnet latch has decided its had enough. I sense gremlins....

[r5gtt]

Boney catch spring needs greasing  mine did that when I bought it 

Is it running now???

[V3trox]

Yup, just let it idle for a bit. Shut it off and restarted it fine. Tomorrow morning will be the decider :D ten i can flash the map back to it and see if that was a potential problem
