53 plate PD engine?

 

Just change the filter. Make sure you put on the right way round. Then turn the ignition on for 3 secs and off again without trying to start the engine. Repeat this 7 or 8 times - this gives a chance for the electric lift pump (the squelch noise from the fuel tank when the ignition is turned on) to prime/fill up the filter and fuel lines with diesel.

 

Then try starting.
