406 hdi non starter
Hi, X reg 406 hdi 110, 150,000 miles. Car has been great but today I drove to work and the exhaust started blowing on the front box so I bodged it up ready for the trip home, end of shift and first turn of key and it coughed and that was it, the engine turns over, all dash lights go out when it is turning over but there,s not hint of it catching. I,m sure the blown exhaust is just coincidence but any pointers much appreciated.

If the cambelt has gone it will just whirr when cranking rather than the 'normal' sound.
My guess would be the LP pump has gone on holiday. Can you hear it priming when you turn the ignition on? If not, then give the bottom of the fuel tank a thump as the ignition is turned on, and again a few times while trying to crank it.

the thing i found interesting is he held onto the fuel filter whilst i turned the ignition on to feel for fuel pressure and there was none,(must remember that one) lifted the back seat lifted the rubber gromet and whacked the pump,no joy, tested the wiring for power that was ok and checked the inertia switch everything points to pump
