Vauxhall Corsa diesel won't start
Discussion
Colleague of mine has a vauxhall corsa turbo diesel R reg, that won't start.
Drove back from airport approx 100 miles no probs then wouldn't start the next day.
Engine turns over, and sometimes gives a bit of life for about a second then stops.
replaced the glow plugs, no different.
Any ideas chaps?

As mentioned above, bleed any air out of the fuel system. If there has been a lack of fuel, the oil might have been blown out and you have lost compression. If you put about half a cap full of oil down into each cylinder should help raise the compression enough to get it started. But check the oil levels first.
It worked on my mates transit once, same scenario. Long run the day before then wouldn't start. And it was fine from then on.
