I'm having a similar problem with my 1.8D (non-TD) van... got the battery charged and checked there's fuel at the injector, but it's just churning over and over.
The glow-plug light comes on and then goes off, and I've tried leaving the ignition on for a little longer... but she still won't fire up. I don't notice a clicking from the engine at all?!
Where is the glow plug relay/glow plugs, please? Could do with getting it moving again sometime this year...
