Thanks Gents for your thoughts so far. I bought a multimeter today to check the glowplugs, haven't actually checked them yet, it's now too dark. The flow to the fuel filter looks good, so I'm guessing that's not the problem. It does start when hot, although sometimes it is reluctant. Which relay is it? and where is the ECU temperature sensor? Your wisdom is appreciated.

Check the draw from the fuel pump. There was a post on here a little while ago that gave the figures for a good and bad pump.... Hold on, I will see if I can find it .....
Here you go, 4.5 amps for a good pump
Also worth mentioning cheap glowplugs are a no no. Use OE

Ive just fitted a Britpart in tank pump and it is drawing 7.6Amps. Any thoughts on this anyone?

Does it work
Under manifold usually a blue body. The brown one is for the temp gauge.
hi wammers, is that definite? i didnt have a temp gauge at all and when i was looking around the other day noticed that the blue plug wasnt plugged in. I plugged it in and now have a temp gauge readout on dash
The ECU temp sender is usually blue. The one for the dash temp gauge is usually brown.
