Try a set of injectors like I said on the phone Kev. I can always get our workshop to look at it but you'd need to drag it to Preston and you'd be paying Ł35 p/h labour! We'd do a leak back test on the injectors before removing them though (measure how much comes out the leak off port on the injector).

wont start mate had pump recond, changed filter head, sender unit, plastic pipes and new crank sensor bleeds up fine but wont start and no management lights come on but will run once in a blue moon for about ten mins then die like fuel probs

Sticky.

It's got to be something simple mate, you've changed the hole fuel system now apart from Inj.

could be a timing chain tensioner failed, happened twice last year on my transit.

You could do with datalogger really to see what fuel pressure you have when cranking and also, wether or not you have sync between the cam position sensor and the crank sensor, if you haven't, it will never start.

They can suffer with broken crank sensor wiring where the loom drops down near the water pump, try wiggling the loom while someone else cranks it, also, how many miles has it done? They suffer with timing chain tensioner faults, this causes the chain to slacken off slightly when left for a long period of time, at best, this will stop it from starting because the cam/crank sensor lose sync, at worst, the valve timing jumps and scraps the head.

Karl its a 2.4 td di so no cam sensor mate, timing chain is ok had front cover off when i did the pump to make sure all was ok too

i had one with similar symptoms would start occasionally then wouldnt start, turned out to be a fuel line that had collapsed internally

Haha, that's my theory out the window then lol. Have you taken the crank sensor out and looked at it to see if it's covered in meatl swarf from the flywheel?

If you crack the injectors off and crank it, is there much fuel at the injectors?

Also, what's the main electrical connector like on the back of the pump? A bad connection there can stop it from starting, and when it's running, vibration from the engine can cause it to cut out, had one like this a few years back, took me ages to find out why!

crank sensor was changed yestersay and bell housing/flywheel was ok

seems to be getting plenty of fuel from injectors

Will check plugs/wiring today but not seen anythin there really
