It's a diesel, could be LOADS of things.
If you don't know what you're doing go to a garage as replacing and trying to 'fix' parts blindly isn't the way forward!
My guess would be fuel pressure related if it bump starts 'sometimes' but even then that doesn't narrow it down much!
We can't diagnose it ! Call breakdown recovery or something or tow to a garage to have it looked at by somebody who knows what they are doing0 -
Had the battery tested and it seems fine? It either tested as all good or adequate or poor or useless.
Get a proper diagnostic on the car.Censorship Reigns Supreme in Troll City...0 -
you dont " clean" crank sensors, and bump starting is the easiest way to strain the cambelt0

Got to be a diagnostic test, we would be guessing.0
