Apr 2011 at 18:19 Check for fuel/leaks at the injectors will be the best place to start If it was running fine it sounds like the shut off solenoid has activated... May be a fuse, may be a broken wire but checking for fuel is the best start (assuming it's not turning over quickly... i.e. Cam belt )

Guessing it's a low blow 1700 single over head cam diseasal - X17DTL. Get a code reader on it, good chance it'll be the fuel pump (can't remember the code Undecided

). As they're a fortune new there's loads of dead 1.7 TD Astras around. I got a recon'd pump for £350 for mine.
