Van not starting today, getting the glow plug light, on then off but then little or no response from turning the ignition. Just a few coughs.
No battery light or other warning lights.
Any ideas please?
Thanks

Starter Motor solenoid failure. Packs available on eBay.

From the video it sounds like the starter motor is working but very slowly! Likely a flat battery especially if the engine is very cold, you can see all the other dashboard lights fade out as the battery voltage falls.
