Been driving the TD5 all over locally today and called in on a mate tonight,when I came out,started the TD5,it fired and then immediately died and no amount of cranking would get her to fire(she normally starts first turn of key).I checked the electric pump was running,and could hear it whining away but it did not stop-so maybe not reaching pressure set point-Also checked immobiliser led not glowing.Left for a few minutes and tried again and she fired into life,and then drove home ok.
Had another occurrence of this back in July-had just driven home,and had to go out to collect daughter-again TD5 (which had been running 5 mins earlier)would just crank over but not fire-to avoid running Batt flat,got daughter with other car-on retrying TD5 when I got back it burst into life and that w'end went to Dorset and back camping with no issue at all.
Does any of this sound like a failing fuel pump?I run home brew bio and on my third year-maybe my fuel savings are catching up with me.
I do have a Nanocom but not sure it would tell me anything-thoughts?
