Thank you, will check that
i will check that, on the motorway it was too noisy to hear anything. thank you
hiya peeps. right. when i turn the ignition prior to turning over, the pumps hum like a bee;, i did actually turn the key and guess what, the tank started, however, when you rev the enine you can hear the car struggling a bit, as if there is not enough fuel getting through, can one of the filters be clogged? or my injectors? or is there something more sinister going on.
i have let the engine run up to operating temperature, the car then starts to struggle a bit while the engine idles. as soon as i touched the accelerator to rev the engine it died, and it wont start now. HEEEEEEEEELP MEEEEEEEEEEE LOL. (prior to reaching opperating temp, you could rev it quite high and it just felt a little juddery, but didnt cut out)

Did the pump in the tank run, if it has failed then the secondary pump in the engine bay will usually allow it to start but lacks the power to run properly and will also fail fairly quickly as it has to work too hard.
Do you get any warning lights?.
There is also a known problem with the plug that attaches to the pressure switch on the end of the common rail, that could give the symptoms you have
