I have a 2000 dispatch with a 1.9 turbo deisel.It has been working fine until today when it would not start after leaving it for about 30 mins. in good weather conditions. Initial investigation shows no fuel getting to the injectors, the fuses have been checked and are ok, there isn`t an ineretia switch to reset, but there are a couple of electric "gizmos" attd. to the bosch fuel pump, one of which the recovery man thinks is part of the immobilser system.The alarm sets and resets ok, however the the little red warning light does not appear to flash and has never done so ever since I bought the van 5 years ago.

Any suggestions gratefully received.

I had same problem on my 02 dispatch 2.0hdi. would start when engine hot then one day just wouldn't start at all. turned out to be leaking diesel injectors. took them out, cleaned them up, put new copper washer and plastic sleeve on them. put it all back together and was all sorted.

trouble staring dispatch van in cold mornings

neilb, October 2012

I had strange problem with 2006 Dispatch Van suddenly not starting - no glow plugs lighting up. dealer found that it was caused by a failed ECU Ignition Double relay. Citroen Part No. 454935 - cost 36.89+VAT

Well, it appears that I've inherited the same problem?

TST, February 2009

My van has not started for about 3 weeks,and i had tried towing it and jump leads and most obvious things. Once reading the answer about glow plugs I tried disconnecting the battery for half an hour to reset the relay, and once it was re-connected the van started first turn of the key...THANK YOU.!! straight to the garage in the morning for new glow plugs me thinks...thanks again.

Dougie Sharpe, November 2008

The glow plugs were faulty which caused relay to trip out. New glow plugs fixed it.
Disconnecting battery for at least 30 mins causes relay to reset enabling vehicle to start again to take it to garage to get the work done. (left mine overnight on charge and only found out by accident that it would start the next day!!!!!).
