My ford fiesta 1997 1.8D wont start?

try the fuel solenoid (screwed into the pump and has a wire to it with a small nut)...test this by putting a direct feed from the battery to it...if she starts u got a faulty relay(located bhind left hand headlight usually and is black....same relay used on a lot of vauxhalls)...if it still wont start...white smoke means air in fuel....black means fuel is there so check glow plugs...no smoke means either relay or solenoid gone down

the glow plugs are faulty or there is no diesel getting into the system
