Help!:Peugeot 106 Diesel, intemittent non starter?

Intermittent fault, whether car is hot or cold, anytime of year, parked inside or out

Car spins over happily, drives well at all times (once started!)

In attempt to rectify, so far have replaced Oil & Fuel filters,glow plugs,accelerator cable

Any ideas please?

Now told by a garage that this is the Immobiliser

About 3 hours work to disconnect/remove from system!

Sorry I mean Peugeot of course!...(Not Vauxhall) quote £116 for switch only

RJT, February 2005

This now seems to be in the area of Diesel stop solenoid/switch!

Vauxhall quote £116 for switch only (Bosch unit)

Anyone got any suggestions for repair or alternative replacement?

hi, i have been experiencing exactly the same problem with my car i had to get rac out to jump start me. He suggested i took it for a compression test, the garage said that the tappets need doing it, should cost about £100-£150. dont know if thats the same problem as yours? hope thats of help to you.
