I remember working on one with a mechanic friend of mine that hand a squeezable pump under the bonnet. That was a Kangoo dci70 I think with a turbo. that had its head and bottom end changed as its big ends went.

dont know if thats any help though.

maybe the fuel cut has been tripped? maybe a wire off so not triggering fuel pump....
