As this previously appeared in the general chat section I realised it's wandering dangerously close to being a 'help request' (more just looking for a consensus of people saying "yep"tbh) but here is is again...

It started a bit dicky the other day. Then 1st thing yesterday morning took maybe 5 seconds before spluttering into life. After a short run, took approximately ten seconds. On trying to leave work that evening, maybe 15 seconds. I was just about to switch off and give up, at that moment it started.

All this with less than a 1/4 tank full. Straight after work, went and put in £20, so approx 15 litres diesel, and it started immediately.

Came home. Left it until 11pm, so engine was definitely cold. It started  - immediately. Same again this morning. Started immediately.

I'd diagnose life pump on its way out / dead already.

Just wanted final confirmation before I go hunting out a TD lift pump that I can't especially afford right now (trying to mend the V6 and get her back on the road) is there anything else I can rule out?
