Hi there,
I have a qashqai 1.5 diesel. I'm having a problem with starting. I drove for about an hour a month ago and when I attempted to start the car it wouldn't start. I checked the battery and alternator and all seemed to be fine. I drove today and stopped at the motorway services and again the car wouldn't start. It seems that when the car has been running for a while and then stopped it will not restart. Any ideas please?.
Qashqai won't start after being driven.

If you have some scanner tool, I would suggest to check Coolant temperature sensor and Crankshaft/Camshaft position sensor when engine is hot…
That’s purely from my experience with Vauxhall.
If diesel engine doesn’t start only when it’s hot it must be a sensor, unless you have high mileage car where mechanical wear is present…

My post above assumed that the engine is not firing, but only turning on starter
If your engine doesn't turn over (starter doesn't engage and turn), we are speaking about different issues...

What year is it ? As a 1.5 j10 euro 4 engine is a different ball game to a 1.5 j11 euro 6 or euro 6d
