hello all,
this is my first post here so please move if im in the wrong area mods.

just got hold of a very cheap 2002 transit crewcab but i cannot for the life of me get it to start, previous owner told me he had ran it dry of fuel so i am suspecting it needs bleeding,

i have removed and filled the fuel filter with fresh diesel already to no success.

van will crank no problem at all but not fire,

i am fairly mechanically competant but i have never bled a fuel system on one of these vans.

its a 2.0 tddi duratorq engine i think and their is no primer on top of the fuel filter.

any suggestions or help appreciated
