I bought a can of easy start today... gonna give that a bash tomorrow and hope for the best. I suspect if I can start it then the rest should take care of itself... fingers crossed.

If you really must, only spray sparingly from a distance at the intake whilst the engine is turning over.

Have you checked compression of cylinders?

If it has not started by now, having got air free fuel to the injectors. And it is attempting to fire but not catching. I suggest you check voltage to glow plugs, if good then it is possible you have several duff glow plugs. Voltage to them does not mean they are working only that they have the potential to if serviceable.

I would not recommend using it. BUT if you do, DO NOT spray directly into inlet. Spray across inlet whilst cranking so that engine sucks it in.

I second that, it needs very little vapour to start & run sprayed directly across the manifold at the EGR whilst cranking.If you really must, only spray sparingly from a distance at the intake whilst the engine is turning over.

Not a lot of detail there, Faultmate is better. However if there is a problem with the Needle lift Sensor, check the connector and also the wires for chaffing.
