Shouldn't need glow plugs at this time of year,
assuming your UK that is.........
And you don't state hot or cold starting.
So,providing it's not fuel supply,
I'd suspect the crank angle sensor,
I've had 2 in with identical symptoms,cranking fine but no firing,
And a CAS failure doesn't leave a fault code,as far as the ECU can tell the engine isn't even turning over!
Of course both of the ones I had in would not cooperate and worked fine when testing,
Even the 'scope was no use.
So working on logic I replaced the CAS on the first one,result!
never failed since.
Same thing on the second one when it came in.
So your call,
faults like your can be tough to find if they don't present when testing.
Oh and I fitted really cheap CAS's from Amazon,less than £20 if I recall.
If I had to gamble I did not want to shell out for O/E,
almost a year later and they're still running!
