[Nick leek]

Please can anyone help my Peugeot partner 2004 20hdi stopped starting but sometimes but very rarely starts only got a cheap diagnostic tool and no codes cannot get it to garage cause won't start can anyone please give me a starting point to get it running

Has the primer bulb got any splits in which can let air in . Feelmthe primer bulb if its not firm then prime it . If it starts then that primer will need replacing.

Youtube has many videos regarding problems with starting.

Can you be a bit more specific?
Does the engine still crank or is it a no crank situation?
When you switch the ignition on do you get dash lights illuminating?
Once it starts does it stay running until you switch it off or does it cut out whilst the engine is running?
Can you diag tool read live data? specifically engine speed & fuel pressure?
Has it definitely got enough fuel in it? (dont trust the gauge or range left in tank reading)

Sorry yes cranks no live data diagnostic tool and that is interesting the primer bulb is also soft until I pump up but still don't start but it as gone soft again. PS everything light's up on dash just won't start

Air in the system primer bulb should stay firm if its not then its perrished.

I think without live data you could be clutching at straws.
Will it fire up with a blast of easy start?

Could be a cad cam or crank sensor you need to scan it to see if there are any faults.

Just had a full diagnostics and it has low fuel pressure it goes up and down so told me to try a fuel real pressure sensor and if not that a high pressure pump as anyone had the same thing
