my van just turns over when i turn the key. iv tried letting the glow plugs warm up 2 or three times before trying to start and no luck. radio and lights are working. car would start fine before, even if it took a couple of seconds to kick in

any suggestions would be great
cheers

make sure your heater plugs are working,disconnect the leads to each one and flick a live 12v feed onto each one,if you dont get a small spark at the plugs then replace,another area to look at is the hand primer assy on top of the fuel filter and the fuel heater next to it,these sometimes draw air into the system,one more is the fuel pipes running down the rear of the engine,bad for chaffing and rubbing there,hope this helps,maybe not your fault but worth a look
