Welcome to Club.
As Greeners said can you give more Info please.
Trying to Start without a Battery will give you problems.

Tomos mate, you are going to have to be a bit more forthcoming.

basically all that i have said just had starter repaired and put on new battery. Sometimes if you squirt easystart into the air intake it will start another time if i disconnect and reconnect battery it will start. at the moment will not start doing either.

Apparently it resets the ecu. Don't know how true this is. this is my first diesel, never had a problem before the starter packed in .

My mistake. thought the engine would turn without a battery!!. On a serious note never had a problem before starter packed in.

If it started on easy start, it's probably a fuel problem. You need to hear if the rear pump (under the rear seat) is whirring. You could also try tapping the under bonnet one gently.

I assume the engine turns over but just doesn't fire ?
