Don't think thatll get fuel to the injector pipe. Open the bleed screw on the top of the pump, prime it as above until no air comes out, then tighten this up and then crack injector pipes and crank the engine until no air comes out, then while cranking get someone else to tighten them up until it fires.

Sometimes the prime lever is not in the right place on the gear that is behind it and it won't pump anything, just turn the engine over so it's in the right place. ( just remember for next time )
Check it hasn't got a broken cable, i don't think there is much else it can be.

I found this thred very useful, when I could not get Tilly (2.5td) to start after changing the fuel filter. I had cranked the engine and now know that this pulled all the air from the new filter into the fuel system - Silly Tilly!!! So we followed the priming instructions above to the letter, but could not get fuel to spit from the injector pipes, until my genious of a son spotted that there is a bleed nut on the top of the fuel pump. Opened the nut, cranked the engine, waited for spitting fuel from pipes, tightened everything up and vrrrruuuuummmmmmmm! Hope this helps anyone with the same problem.
