Answer 2

Don't crack open any injector pipes as these systems are self bleeding, they are high pressure diesel systems and not meant to be tampered with. With bonnet open, look to the left hand side engine bay and you will see a black canister type object with pipes to and from it, this is the fuel filter, there should also be a black squeezable primer inline with a fuel pipe, ensuring the van has fuel in it, squeeze this primer till it goes hard, during this operation you can watch diesel go through pipes, once primer is hard, crank engine and if everything is ok, it will eventually start, if it doesn't start you may have drawn dirt through and this can have catastrophic conseqences, sorry
Also make sure that the crash sensor hasn't been activated, this is a red or black topped button (usually beside fuel filter or nsf inner wing) which can re-activated by pressing the button downwards, this will allow the engine to start if this is the cause.
Good Luck

it should bleed its self by spinning it over, or look in the engine bay for a hand pump, pump that until it gets hard, or spin the engine while someone cracks each injector in turn

Answer 4
