my vauxhall vectra wont start?

My diesel 2l vauxhall vectra is not starting. Although it sounds like a battery problem the battery has been checked and is fine. Do you think it could be the heater plugs? or any other suggestions. What about a relay and how do I trace it, it has actually had a diagnostic test and nothing showed up. It turns over then seems to die. Please help.

Is the engine turning over ?
Does it turn over a bit then doesn't turn over.
If it is turning over but doesn't start when cold it would suggest glow plugs.
need a bit more info really though.

a friend of mine had a similar prob, it turned out to be a leak-off pipe, get it checked out, this will not show up on a diagnostic check. oods1@hotmail.com
