No fuel sounds like a problem with the stop valve on the injector pump. :wink:

And welcome to the forum.

Hi & welcome , if you mean its turning over but not starting it could be fuel starvation but could be other things also. Can you give us more description.

Is it a deisle? if so it could be the glow plugs or fuseable link or relay

check that you are getting the volts accross the glowplug rail

Thank you. There is fuel in the vehicle but no exhaust fumes when i turn it over, i presume indicating that that there is no fuel in the pump/engine. The glow plugs have power. Thanks

A quick one to look at.. could be wrong/ do no harm..?? Check the 15amp fuse, 1st on the left, 2nd row down, cab fuse box..??
