Hi guys I've an 07 zafira diesel that won't start. Car started running sluggish a few days ago but now won't start at all.

Once engine heats up it seems ok again and it'll start if it's turned off again and restarted. Just curious if it could be the pump inside the diesel tank not functioning or could it be a faulty injector etc
