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.

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
