Car will not start after running low on fuel
I ran low on fuel recently in my Volkswagen Bora, but now my car won’t start.
I called the RAC, who sprayed Easy Start and changed the crank shaft sensor, but the glow plug lights will not go out on the dashboard. I've tried jump starting, but with no luck. Any ideas?

Airlock in the fuel filter. Need to bleed some fuel through.
