Vauxhall Movano - Engine cutting out soon after starting - We Move Motors

Hi could anyone help with this issue i am having with a 2008 Vauxhall movano 2.5 diesel, the van starts up fine and after running for about 5-10 seconds the engine cuts out and will not start again for 5-10 minutes, then once it starts its can run all day and doesnt have a problem starting again until the following day, if this is a common problem or what the problem might be, I would be thankful

Cheers

James

I've just had 4 injectors replaced and 4 glowplugs...on my Vauxhall movano van...I still have the same problem.

When I start cold engine in the morning. Works perfect for 10-15 secs. Than the engine shuts off and only fires up with EASY START spray.... :-(

I've spent loads of money still same problem.

If I were working on this I'd initially suspect fuel supply/pressure.

10-15 seconds sounds about right to use up all the fuel in the filter.

So the first thing I'd do is to carefully remove the filter when the fault occurs and look to see IF there's any fuel in the bowl.

I'm thinking a restriction in the filter/line.

or a bad filter.
