hello, I've had the glow plugs out and 1 was faulty, they have been in for about 40K. The plugs receive about 13 volts for 2/3 seconds longer than glow light on the panel is lit, is this right? Took the fuel filter out and empted into clean container, nothing to worry about there. Was new Aug 11. This car has a fuel pump in the tank so fuel is pushed up past the fuel filter at least. The return bleed pipes returns to the return pipe coming from injector pump, which then returns to the fuel tank, dont think there is much chance of air geting in here. Slackened injector pipes diesel spirting  OK still wont quiet start blackish smoke coming out the exhaust!! Many thanks farmboy.

well if it has the ability to start the only other things stopping it is no air intake or timing out of sync. or on very rare occasion water'd down fuel.

Black smoke over fueling.
Have a look at the nuts on the injector pump they may of slackened off theres 1 at the bottom below the injector pipes and another 2 either side where it bolts onto the timing plate.
I had a similar problem myself and it turned out the small cotter in where the injector pump meets the timing cog had given up and shredded itself.
Have a look at the link and you see what im trying to explain.picture 6 you can see in the mirror the keyway

Hello, I'm having a prolem with the engine on my 1998 omega 2.5 turbo diesel. it will start when I turn the key but stops when I release it! Is this a crank sensor problem, can I test it? would be glad of any help. farmboy.

Ain't no crank sensor on a TD!

There is but it will run if its breaked the only difference is the MAF the earlier engine has a air flow sensor in the manifold and the later a maf at the air box
