My Escort 1.8 diesel engine wouldnt start this morning - turned over fine, but didnt want to fire at all. Some blue 'dieselly' smoke from the exhaust, but the downpipe was stone cold. I pushed the primer, and that was fairly hard, so doesnt seem to be a fuel problem.
What should I check next?
It has been running fine for the last few months, and has never even hinted at non-starting. Thanks Alan.
