The car currently isn't starting at the moment. Was running fine a few weeks back until i left the car on a hill and then it now will not start. Cranks fine just not starting.
The glow plugs were changed a few months ago so i don't believe they are the issue.
I had a mate round to have a look at it for me tonight. We took of the injector return and found no fuel coming out when cranking. Next we took off the pipe going to the fuel pump from the lift pump and primed it by hand to find still no fuel coming out.
I'm guessing that this primer is the problem possibly with a bit of a dodgy fuel pump as i had a search and it seems you can start one without this primer.
Where is the NRV in the car? In the fuel pump itself?
Sorry for the daft questions, not too hot on the old diesel engines
Think i'm gonna need a new lift pump but wanted to make sure before i jump in and get one as they aint cheap.
Cheers
