Glow plugs aren't working or you have an air leak on the fuel system allowing it to drain back to the tank, does squeezing the primer bulb until its hard before trying to start the car help at all?
If not I would say that you either have several dead glow plugs or the glow plug relay has packed up working
Re: Wont start right :( - studturbo - 28-03-2012
ill give the primer bulb a blast and see what happends wheres the glow plug relay ?

IIRC its the big black box bolted to the back of the battery tray with wires connected to it!

It's air getting in somewhere, check the hole fuel system for any leaks. Give the grenade a good squeeze and listen for any air.
