We do seem to be getting a spate of these 2.2DTis with failing fuel pumps.

Before you condem it though, check fuel filter, and certainly glow plugs....

Any EML?

And check the bleed off pipes and replace as a matter of course.

Talking of bleed off pipes, know where I can get it? Tried the usual places for a couple of metres, no joy.  Do I have to buy individually from dealer?
