Hi all,
About 2 months ago my td4 failed to start, I'd driven 5 miles, parked up and went back within 15 mins - turned over but wouldn't start. Called the breakdown company but after 30 mins it suddenly fired into life and was fine.
It did this another time when cold, I left it for a while and then it started.
Then I had the split turbo hose which I replaced and have done a 1000 mile round trip last week without a problem, but yesterday evening I went out to the car and she just turned over but wouldn't fire - same this morning.
I spent some time on here and elsewhere searching for similar problems and decided to replace the glow plugs - not the problem - still turns over but won't fire.
So more searching has shown the following as potential faults:
1) Glow relay
2) Fuel pump (can hear one whirring and plenty of fuel in the tank)
3) Crank sensor (but have read this is only when warm?)
4) Leaking injector
What is the most likely culprit? Any help? Car is parked outside, not easy to get it to a dealer and I'd prefer to sort it myself.
