Hi mate it could be one of a few things but lets start with an easy one .... disconnect the Battery, leave it for a while then reconnect it. You may be very lucky and cleared the fault if not it hasn't cost you anything, let us know the result and someone will come back with the next step.

HI D4D777,

Have you checked that the glow-plugs are working and there is power getting to same. Might be the glow-plug fuse blown or the glow-plugs themselves are burnt out...???

Another option is that your fuel filter is blocked and might need to be changed...???
