Best Answer

loads of reasons- fuel injection jets blocked, you can get a detergent additive to add to your diesel from many shell garages for this...

broken glow plug- replace all ya glow-plugs cos ya don't know which ones faulty...

wiring to your glow plug melted/shorting out or broken - check and replace.....

air filter blocked - replace filter....

timing belt/chain, stretched needs replacing...... put it in a garage they know what there doing(get a price first)

valves need cleaning- use redex (a detergent)(READ THE LABEL to see if it can be used on your van)(may cause smoke as deposits are burnt out or engine for aprox half an hour)..... or as removing valves and cleaning them, needs you to do head gasket/timing put it in a garage if your not experienced in engine repair
