Choppa I'm all for the idea with the hammer, but the problem you have is a faulty injector maybe more then one. The van is hard to start because the injector/s is leaking back thus releasing the common rail pressure this then has to build pressure up again, lots of turning the engine over. When started the fuel pump can keep up with any demands required by the common rail and you will run all day. Now the red light on the dashboard, as a by product of a faulty injector/s it shorts out the high pressure sensor in the common rail, this turns on the red engine stop light on dashboard, in turn the pressure sensor turns off just about everything else!

You need to find and change the faulty injector/s as the problem will get worse, you could try a leak off test as a start point to indicate which injector/s to start with.

Hope this helps. Good luck.

Yet another person to find out the hard way that Renaults are crap. Take it to the scrap yard, you won't get back all the money you've spent on it up to now, trying to solve the many problems, but you should get enough to have a drink to drown your sorrows. Then save up and get a decent van
