As per title I have joined the club to being a proud owner with a TD5 that turns but won't start 
We were out last Sunday in the 2000 110. Parked up and came out of the meeting an hour later to find she would only turn over and not start.
A phone call later and we had a mate from up the road with his nanocom.
Nothing obvious, MAF - but this has been like this for some years.
Checked the rubber button thingy - name eludes me for now - on the inside of bulkhead.
Fuel pump relay clicking in & running. Maybe it was quieter than usual or was I just thinking it was??
All engine management lights com on as they should.
Click test on nanocom for injectors is ok for all 5.
No fuel in oil
No oil in ecu injector harness.
Ecu plugs checked, relays & fuses checked. All seems ok.
She turns over but won't fire.
I did notice a small amount of water in the tray under the ecu. But wires & ecu were dry.
RAC man joins our party. His only comment was no RPM on his diagnostics.
He tried some spray in the air inlet to which it fired on this briefly. I'm not keen on this spray in a diesel.
Fuel pumps out the fuel cooler when disconnected.
Onto the flatbed home - at least it saved a few quid in diesel.
I have since changed the crankcase sensor.
Charged the battery
Removed the ecu & plug in chip had them in the house ontop the boiler.
But no further on.
SO we look the Airportable Landy with a caravan on the back.
Only in dire emergencies will that be done again.
Now I'm back to fix the problem.
I've been reading the posts - the only thing that seems to come up that could be my fault is fuel pressure.
Can someone give me an idiots guide to check for the 4bar of fuel pressure. Where do I take it and what size of thread is it to screw in a gauge etc.
