Thanks @wammers the old one fell to piece so is it worth getting something made up same as crank sensor or just buy a new one and sacrifice the 2nd hand one I got or can it be done with starter motor off?

You could maybe use the new one, a small drop of super glue should hold the shim on then flick it off after you have set bracket.
@wammers thank you will find a shim and give it a go will update. Fingers crossed that be the issue.

If there is diesel coming out of the injectors, nip up the unions and try cranking again. It took a bit of cranking to get mine running and also the other one I was involved with recently. Once it had fired it started easily afterwards.
Ok yeah mine just kept cranking and cranking my concern is knakering the new battery albeit the cps issue needs to be resolved first. Ordered a 1.5mm shim to come in so can set that properly and try again. Just amazed me if that was out the engine didn't even attempt to fire?

The EDC needs to know what the engine is doing, no CPS and the EDC doesn't even know the engine is turning.

Crack injectors one at a time.
Firing order is 1,5,3,6,2,4
be prepared for it to start so don’t wear your tie

Must be a CPS as it wouldn't fire even though had fuel coming out each injector. This has really stressed me out considering the amount of work I have put into it.
Would a diagnostic show up a CPS issue?
Not sure if diagnostics works until engine starts but it certainly shows the CPS signal on the fuelling part of the EDC on Nanocom.
Wish I could afford a nanocom

Yes.
Nanocom 06 for diesel is the whippets Mars bar.
I wish you could afford me one too

Hawkeye with a P38 will give you codes, but god knows what they mean they say it’s on their website but you try fixing an m51 with that I dare you

Never thought of cutting a bit off a 1.5mm feeler gauge?

I used a blob of wax trimmed down to 1.5mm on the end of the cps to reset mine. When the flywheel rotates it just knocks it off.
@wammers @Datatek @RangeRoller dt Just ran a hawkeye diagnostic only fault it came up with is fault 25 glow plug control module? Would this prevent a total non fire?
Attached some photos of live data injection says -3 degrees.
Also attached are faults from becm check if anyone can make sense of these?
No error came up on the cps sensor.
Again at a loss.

No Glow plugs = no start.
I wouldn't know about the injection -3 degrees, I don't have that diagnostic device and the presentation of information is different. @wammers would know.
The BECM stuff is a communications problem, at least that's what your diagnostics say, I would ignore that for the moment
Ok cheers. Do you know where the glow plug module relay is located?

In with the EDC in the box behind the battery where there is also a fuse.
