Hi folks,

Just picked up an 05 TDCi 130 Ghia X - cheap because it needs bodywork. However the seller neglected to tell me about the diesel leak that has caused the car to munch through 3/4's of a tankful in 175 miles (steady 60mph motorway cruise). Discovered it filling up before driving it home, the AA man reckoned a pipe was leaking around the fuel pump area but advised it was ok to drive provided I didn't thrash it.

Coming onto the M25 the glow plug light started flashing and then the engine cut out - restarted immediately with no issues. The car has cut out twice since then - both times under acceleration over 2200rpm, both times accompanied by the flashing glow plug symbol.

Anyone here able to shed some light on this? All help much appreciated!
