Check low pressure pump (under back seat right hand side) Then check high pressure pump under plastic cover left side under car next to gearbox.The filter is also here - replace it. This pump should supply 3 bars +. If no joy remove plugs from injectors-loosen return pipes from top of injectors. Crank and observe. No diesel should come out of injectors. If it does replace injectors. If vehicle is over 100000kms-replace anyway. Hope this helps.
