Hello,
It sounds like the fuel pump has gone bad which will cause the engine not to start. Here are a couple of guides that will help you get the problem fixed.
Hi I managed to get car started after 20 minutes of jumping it its a 2002 tdci Mondeo when I done the leak off test number 4 was loads of fuel number one pushed out none car runs but with an intermittent glow plug light flashing and engine management light on all time I got two codes p0251 and p1000 I know one is the injectors and other is ecu not completed tests will this go off if I replaced the injectors and coded them? Thanks for your help so far

Right took injector's out and apart cleaned the seem all be spraying equal when blowing carb cleaner through them still the glow plug light still coming on? Cleared codes
Also if I changed the injectors my mate who's a pretty good mechanic say they don't necessarily need coding as they should run ok?
Your input would be appreciated ty
