2005 2.7 TDV6 wont start

Hi All

Drove fine last night. Took to local shops and back at 5pm , all fine. This morning wont start .

Fairly cold here last night - 3/4 c. Heater plug symbol on dash lights and goes off after a few seconds but engine wont start. Engine turning over well and 1/2 tank of fuel.

Any idea,s ?

Thanks

Cheers
Keith

Check for fuel at the bleed point at the back of the engine bay. If there is a good flow if fuel there, it could be glow plug related

Right in the middle of the "V", just behind the rear of the engine cover. Should have a grey plastic screw on cap

Signs of a weak battery, or non-functioning glow plugs...

Low voltage definitely won't be helping. It spins over much slower with a discharged battery, and so doesn't build as much temperature inside the cylinders for combustion
