Car has been operating apparently fine recently with no warnings, loss of power, changes in fuel consumption or smoke etc. I did a 40 mile return journey yesterday with no issues.
On attempt to start early this morning for journey to work (battery fine, starter motor fine etc), engine turned over normally, however just kept turning without firing up. I gave it a few seconds and tried again, same thing. Switched everything off, locked and unlocked car with remote (in case of immobiliser issue), but engine still cranked as before without firing up.
When engine was turning, there were no unusual sounds at all and turned normally (so hopefully not timing chain but not sure how to eliminate this). I had to get a lift to work and leave car behind, but very worried about what might be wrong,
T31 Diesel 2L Manual M9R Engine 2008 120,000 miles
Fully serviced at correct intervals, generally very well maintained, and always driven carefullly
Fuel filter changed every 35,000 miles approx, last change (Nissan part) in May this year. Old filter was clean inside with no deposits, debris or visible dirt.
Any similar experiences and how you fixed car would be appreciated, or ideas on what things I could investigate or look for.
