Hi all, having a problem with my CRD WK. Christmas day went to my brother (65 miles each way) perfectly OK, towing a trailer on the way back. Yesterday it refused to start, turned over fine, also fumes from exhaust but not starting. Yesterday evening it started, but a bit reluctantly. This morning, not starting again. Left it on charge all day, this evening battery fully charged, still not starting.

Any ideas would be very welcome!

Many thanks.

Sounds fuel related. there are 2 pumps. 1 in the tank (low pressure) and 1 at the front of the engine (High pressure)...
I cant remember as it was 10 years ago I had one (Great 4x4) but you could try cracking a line off an injector and see if anything comes out and go from there>

Hi Alex, thanks for your input, it turned out to be the glowplugs, at least 3 non-functioning. Replace all 6 and it is fine now.
