Lift pump or glow plugs worth checking

As above, check there is diesel in the tank.

Also, check the glow plugs are working.

In this cold weather, I would turn the ignition on, wait for the glow plugs light to go out, switch ignition off, then back on again and wait for glow plug light to go out, then try and start!

Edit: Need to type faster!

A paperclip test might give a clue, follow this guide and post any results here.

Another easy test, if you leave your door open, does the interior light get a fraction brighter as soon as the glow plug light goes out? I would expect it to if the glow plugs are working. (without actually starting engine!)

How was it when it started up last time? did it start straight away? was it running rough for a few seconds?

IIRC, I dont think you can paperclip the 2.5 TD

About 1/2 to 2/3rds you can.  No pattern as to why some do, some dont

Maybe the diesel is waxed? I went to fill mine up today & it looked like soup coming out of the pump ,

Why is it that often on TDs the diesel glowplugs/light doesn't come on?

Often when the engine is still too cold to fire immediately, the glowplugs dont come on. Why is this? Presumably something is wearing/broken through age? :-/
