Default Focus 1.8 tdci problems starting after fuel filter change

Hi Everyone

I've had a look at other threads and this seems to be a common issue, however I thought I'd done everything reasonable to avoid it.
I've changed the fuel filter on my 52 reg 1.8 tdci focus. I made sure I primed the filter with fuel, I've used a primer to make sure there is no air between tank, filter and engine, and I've loosened injectors until fuel comes through. So now when I crank the engine, it turns over, and is making an effort to start, but will not fire up completely.

I'm supposed to be trading the car in in a week, and they are only giving me £100 for it so don't want to spend money on it, just need to get it going.

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks
Matt
