there can be many reasons for this mate and the best way of finding out is get it booked into a garage you couold have a blocked diesel filter it could be a wire issue to the glowplugs it could also be a fauloty diesel pump leaky injector overfueling injector a hose leak from any of the air hoses so the first thing to do is do the dash trick thats stickied on the main page see if anything is there and then get it booked into a garage that deals with diesels

thankyou very much for your reply =) i have no idea where to find this sticky thing on the main page lol, im new to the site so im lost =P

i would take it back and request a refund or another car simply tell them you spoke to citizens advice who will take youre case on if necessary and that the car is not fit for the purpose the car doesnt need to start you can still do it with the ignition switched on to position 2

ford batteries arent cheap like most cars made after 2001 they need to be a specific silver/lead calcium battery not lead acid battery or it can cause faults similar to what you experienced ide still go to the garage and try to get somne of the cash back you spent

new update, got in the car this morning, statted first time, took the missus and kid to play group, got back in the car and it wouldnt start, i left it a few mins and tried again..then it started, the car was cheap £1250 but ive spent £300 in the lkast week getting it fixed, i talked to the dealer and they wouldnt play ball, i called trading standards this moring and because i left a mechanic work on it and not the place i bought it from i cant do anything about it, haveyou got any advice on what i should do? im seriously at a loss, i love the car when it wrks but its killing me getting it fixed =(
