Agreed.

I've recently learnt that the injectors clog up and often refuse to work if the car has been sitting for a while.

Switch the ignition on so that the fuel pump will run - then crack each injector line to see if any fuel comes out. Check the starting injector too.

If the injectors are getting fuel remove the injectors to try and free them up.

I found a quick blast with my diesel pop tester cleared the problem with my dodgy injector.

Make sure you fit the injectors firmly in position
