After standing up over night I cannot get the van started in the mornings, I have changed the glow plugs battery and tried primeing the enging it just will not fire up once I do get it going its fine for the rest of the day untill it stands

have you checked to see if you are getting supply to the glow plugs as it could be the relay or poor wiring

Thanks for your answer apart from basic car maintance I dont know alot about diesal vans
Im in a wheelchair and find it difficult working on engineings is there a quieck test I could do to see if the glow plugs are ok as I said once I get it going its fine untill its left over night then it will not fire up. I have done every thing I can think of changed the earth lead glow plugs battery primeing it even tryed useing easy start just cannot find the problem

yes you will need either a test light or multimeter set that to dc volts (at least 12volt scale but if over it wont matter) then get someone to turn on the ignition whilst the meter is connected one lead to battery negative and the other lead to the wire on top of the actual glow plug and it should give you a voltage somewhere around 11-12 volts or if done with a test light it should light up .also listen out carefully for a click of the relay when you first turn ign on and again when the glowplug light on the dash goes off (although sometimes they can click after the light goes out) so listen carefully good luck

I have exactly the same problem. I have had new glow plugs, a reconditioned starter motor, new battery, new fuel line. Nothing helps in this cold weather, I'm just praying for spring. Mine is a 2000, too. Did you get to the bottom of your problem in the end?
