Default urgent starting help needed!!

right basicly i've a 56 plate focus tdci and the diesel light came on last night but only done 4 miles to get home,now the car was parked on a steep hill and when i came out this morning the car started fine done about 100 yards and stalled and now refuses to start.
i've put diesel in it tried to start it nothing i've had it towed around the street and still wont start.
i now have the engine system fault warning light on on the dash the engine still turns over but seems like theres a fuel cut out switch somewhere prehaps that is stopping diesel through to start it anyone any idea's as i need to get it started asap.
thanks for any help
andy

On older diesels there was a priming feature but doubt this applies to modern diesels!

You need to get a fault code read out, finding faults on a modern car without fault codes is a waste of time imo..
