Vectra DTi not starting

Before the Signum I owned a Vectra 2.0DTi.
Spetember 2007 - replaced 3 glowplugs.
January 2008 - diagnosed a problem at 1 glowplug (that's why the engine management light is on); not replaced.
February 2008 - cold morning and the Vec refused to start up. You can hear my mother whispering "It won't!...It's dosn't fire up!" xD...Then my friend helped me by pushing the car. Since then, there have been no problems with it...but now I don't really care anymore - sold it back to the dealer and bought the Signum ;)

Could be anything. I know this version of the Vectra always suffered with dodgy fuel/diesel pumps. There's a 2004 Vectra 1.9 CDTI at my college that refuses to start thanks to a seized diesel pump...but then it could also be the injectors. Hard to tell. Either way the Vec is a nice car...shame that it suffers with questionable reliability.

@U2FAN1992 This car always ran after that...

The leak of pipes were a bit dodgy i.e. letting air in the fuel lines.

for me it looks like there is air in the fuel lines....

mon opel a calé à un stop en raz campagne a 2 h du matin et à 30 km de chez moi, et elle n'a plus voulu démarrer. Mon portable était déchargé. Je ne savais pas quoi faire elle ne voulait pas redémarrer. J'ai tout essayé mais rien eu à faire, elle ne voulait plus démarrer.
