Had a look and there's nothing hanging down at the front on mine, could see plenty of grey plugs around the lower engine like oil pressure switch and fuel pump stop switch but no obvious white plugs.
but it is dark and my torch is abit s**t so will have a better look in daylight if you don't suss it out

Thanks for replying. Mine is the HDI LX
I dont have an oil temp gauge on the car so I hope it is something like you say but I still cant seem to bottom my problem of not starting anymore.
Hope the light tomorrow reveals a bit more

Thanks for looking anyway.
Ive tried allsorts but still cant get it to fire. I really thought Id cured it after I found the fuel inertia switch and it worked but cannot seem to cure the problem now. Think it might be time to give up!

Don't be daft mate its usually something obvious with these engines!!
So what I/we need to know is what its doing, is it turning over but not firing??
If so you will need to tell us if its getting fuel or not as thats a good way of ruling common faults out or not

Well it did fire up fine after restting inertia switch - I went for a good drive in it and all was well. Then a couple of days later wouldnt start at all. Its turning over fine but just not firing. Battery is fine, checked inertia switch again, check earth from gearbox and seems ok. Not sure what else to check????
Do you think it could be fuel pump or something? even though it seemed fine when it started other day.
The car occasionally fires when moving through gears whilst turning over if that means anything?

right, strange one really then mate because if it played up then ran now its stopped again, is there a chance the inertia switch itself is faulty??
I only ask as i have seen one or two go bad but i wouldn't like to give any more suggestions seen as i can't see the car for myself don't want to send you up the wrong path mentioning every part that could go wrong!!
Maybe worth full code read to start with

Yeah it could be that - I suppose it would make sense.
I think I will probably look into a full code read.
Thanks for your help
