So he popped round again this morning & had another look. As I don't have a dial-gauge & zero familiarity of the FIP, etc I'm not gonna risk touching that.

Checked underneath and no obvious leaks from tank pipes. All the fittings appear to be sealed ok as far as I can see.
Checked both ends of all the leak-off pipes, and no signs of fuel leaks, so I'm guessing there's no air getting in there.
Did Nanocom screenshots & recording of live fueling data - see below
Did not have time to unplug the fuel line into the filter to check flow there.

None of the fueling readings vary much when I revved the engine to 2000rpm.

Was that an engine fully up to temperature idling?

yes I beleive so, but only check using gauge, not diagnostics. Nanocom EDC fueling menu doesn't seem to show temperature like my GEMS.

You can see the EDC engine temperature on Nanocom, not sure which screen as I do not have one.

It is on nanocom. I seem to recall it's not on the same screen as modulation which is a faff, a minor faff but a faff nevertheless.

Hmmm. Modulation is a tad high but I would expect problems starting hot rather than cold. Problems starting cold sounds more like glow-plugs or in-tank pump.

I posted up a spreadsheet with a trace from mine somewhere. Or PM me your email address and I will email it to you. Later models are less prone to hot-start issues for carious reasons, one of which was the in-tank pumps runs when cranking.
