Thank you Jim, there is power at the glow plugs and it times itself out, the battery is very good and turns the engine over 500 rpm, the fuel pressure is also OK.
The engine still does not start, it only starts when you tow the car.
Does any body know if the glow plug relay signals the ECU to start the engine as well?????
Thanks

using a multimeter or test lamp,check to see if there is power to the glow plugs when the ignition is switched on. also, is the engine sluggish at turning over on the starter motor? if so, could be a tired battery or starter motor, but check all the electrical connections first. it's also worth bleeding the fuel system!
