Ok when I took the fuel filter off there wasn't any diesel in their ? Fit the new filter & primed with the lift pump until diesel come out of the bleed screw. Took her for a spin and seemed good until 3 minutes later it cut out.

Pulled over and undone the bleed screw and not even a flicker of deisel came out? Primed again and now it's outside the house ? Cheers

Replace the lift pump. They're good for about 100k. Cheap and easy to do.

If the lift pump doesnt cure it check under boot carpet to see how the fuel pickup pipes look on top of tank sender.
