Went thru river crossing above bonnet, have snorkel. Navara died, starter motor goes but engine doesn't start.... Any help!! Urgent please ?

I know you said that you have a snorkel, BUT have you checked the airbox for signs of water?? just in case it leaked from somewhere??
How deep did you go and did the ECU get wet??

 

[happy john]

DON'T keep turning it over as nathan said check those two things

 

[mitch92]

I would guess water too.

 

[jap55s]

No water in engine or fuel. Water was up to about just under seat height.

 

[jap55s]

Any particular sensor or anything I should wd40 on?

when you prime the fuel does the plunger still go hard after a few pumps??

 

[Lawry]

Are you 100% sure water didnt get in?
Do you have ignition and is there any engine response at all when you try to turn it over.

 

[jap55s]

Yes engine fires but doesn't start..

Was a tiny bit of water on filter (arb snorkel instal fail )
Checked oil, no water in that.
Flushed fuel filter had a little bit of water. Fuel pump when primed gets hard. Opened injectors and diesel came out, no water. It's like there is an ignition source that won't keep the engine pumping...

Turbo is still sucking when I try to start....

Tried clutch starting, engine doesn't want to turn over... Like there is a (switch) of some sort I am unaware of

Sounds like an ignition problem to me, not sure how they work on diesels but seems thre might be water in an electronic part ie. ignition

That's what I'm thinking..... But where? Oh also the glow plug light stays on.... Doesn't turn off. However even when clutch starting it doesn't turn over
