Can't get my Mk1 caddy 1.6 to fire up. Was running fine last week, now it cranks over but won't fire up. Checked the battery and it's fine, looking for suggestions
Issues fixed, glow plug relay was wrecked

Next I would check for a spark I presume it’s a petrol. Take each plug out and crank over while carefully holding the plug near the body see what spark u get

The trouble with doing nothing is that you never know when you are finished.

If the GP fuse ever blows, you can use a large paper clip to replace it till you get another or better yet buy a replacement and place in your glove box along with a stubby number 2 Phillips.

Re:
All guessing, earth or grounds do not always sort the issues imo you need to be full in view of the issues that is my opinionBriano1234 said
Clean or replace your grounds Battery-to-Fame-to-Engine. and Charge your battery. If it is a Diesel, then I would also suspect the GP's. Replace the number 4 and if it runs, then replace the other 4.

Try and see if there's any water in the fuel filter by using the drain plug on the filter.
Try priming the fuel pump.
