If you have fresh diesel in the tank then try turn on the ignition, then press the accelerator pedal to the floor five or six times, the purging cycle will begin, dashboard light flashes and you hear the pump pumping, this lasts a couple of minutes and it's worth turning off the ignition and repeating the process a couple of times.
The battery isn’t great, I admit, but it has charged up and is turning over, just not firing
May be, three years is quite a while, try the purge routine, and see if it tries to start (exhaust smoke) if so may be worth putting some fresh in there.
It may turn over but the ecu needs to see 10.5v whilst cranking otherwise it won’t fire the injectors
That’s good to know, thanks!
Yes!! I think fresh diesel may be a good idea after reading some stuff about stale fuel. Thanks
If it’s a manual you could try tow starting
Yes; she is!
