Uh oh, seems Dutch was right   :jpshakehead:

Unfortunately I have no useful knowledge in my head about this model but would suggest a scan for fault codes would be a good start.

check to see if fuel is getting through - could be stop/injection pump/blockage.

normal fault with immob is it starts and stops after a few seconds and lights on the dash showing a fault

or get it scanned - as if sensors/immob you would just chasing in the dark

Make sure you have fuel, manually pump the lift pump if no joy disconnect the pipe and drop it in a bottle of diesel and then try it.

Had exactly the same with my 2.8 KJ came to it one day it ran for a few seconds then cut out wouldnt start again just turned over
Turned out it was the lift pump / filter housing.
