My Bongo wont start :-(

[Germarchip]

Hi all,
I have the technical knowledge of a Gnat!!! My beloved Bongo wont start. She turns over fine, but does not seem to spark. Is it the glow plugs? I have had the van 3 years and have never done anything with them.
Any help or thoughts appreciated

we are as sure as we can be its glow plugs there is power getting to the glow plug rail which means its not fuse, fusable link or relay.

I remebered after I left if you need it starting a can of easystart will get it going and should then rule out fuel issues too

But with the history of poor lumpy starting and smoke on start up I think the last of the glow plugs have expired.

How true. I think we should plan to stay here for the forseeable future as there's a definite shortage of it (love) in most of the rest of the populated world

Well one WW

Great news - well done to WW once again
