hi everyone,
i have an Omega turbo diesel which has a bmw engine.
the problem started a while ago now and it became hard to start, more so when warm.
Now, it wont start at all, it sounds ok just does'nt fire up!

any ideas?

There is a known fault that if the tank gets below a quarter they are difficult to start!!! faulty fuel pump or keep it above half a tank of fuel then its fine

so this is a common fault? would another fuel pump be expensive?

i think we may be in for a bad winter this year!

the car will not start at all anymore.....

If this is your problem Jo!! best way to test it is to fill the tank over half full then see if it starts easier if at all, your pump may have died completely, but this is supposing its your fault!!! have you had anyone look at the car?
