This is a renault master 1980cc . I know its a van but I am desperate for advice. My mechanic hasn't a clue.

It failed to start on the starter but would start immediatly on a tow. Continues to run during the day mostley. Has failed to start on a couple of occasions when working closer to home.

It has been on the computer and everything checks out.

i thought it was air in the system so i changed the fuel filter bowl/filter and all the fuel lines. Also put a non return into the line from the filter to the pump.
Worked for a few days but now not starting again.

Any ideas?

Can a battery turn an engine for a reasnoble length of time and still be worn out?
