Rover 75 CDTi auto Tourer turns over but won't start

I've got this problem this morning - any quick fix ideas before I call the AA please? I've tried the obvious, immobiliser, easy start, gear shift but nothing has worked so far

Thanks

You have checked your plenum is dry haven’t you?

Is your fuel level above 1/4 tank? I had a non-starting and cutting out issue where the in-tank pump had failed. I eventually repaired the pump but for a few days prior to that, keeping fuel above 1/4 worked.

Plenty of fuel but yes, leaves and rain may be the culprit then. Thanks, will check

If it has been drowned, marinabrian is your man to sort a replacement unit.

Hi Corinne.
Link below will help with checking the plenums, also I note your car is a 2006 so I am assuming it does not have the under bonnet fuel pump, I have seen a couple of the late 55 - 06 plates with them.
