Default car wont start at all

car: mondeo tdci 130 2002
problems were the car would go into limp mode if you booted it for a few seconds.
its happened a few times.
then on the way back from the mot station it went into limp mode so i turned key off and on again but it wouldnt go out of limp mode at all.
i tried a few times but still limp mode all the way home.
i then tried to start it in the morning butfor some reason it wont start at all!
the glow plug light is flashing constantly.
ive tried resetting the ecu but as soon as i turn the ignition on the ignition light comes on then flashes constintly.
it cranks but no fuel going in as far as i can tell so somethings not triggering the injectors.
pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease help.....

if you run a DERV with very little or no fuel you can end up with airlocks in the fuel rail and such components.
if it is that, then you could try what i tried on my mates transit.
finding the closest point to the head of the engine, where the diesel goes into the injectors and undo it half a turn or so, so it can leak. (one at a time)
crank it til it pisses over your engine a little bit, and retighten, you might need some rag in situ for this!
do it for all four injector lines and you should've bled the system through
