The pump must run for the test not necessarily the engine, i'll edit the post accordingly

That's OK, electrics arnt my strongest ability 
I may be barking up the wrong tree thinking as there is fuel running through the pipes the pump must be functional possibly LP. Just to get it started would be great.
It's just making a god awful noise and I have purged it a good few times but still no joy. Starting to be concerned that damaged has accoured as its been run on a veg/diesel mix

If the voltage drops on the battery below 10.5V while cranking it will not start no matter how the pump is working cos there's not enough power left for the injectors

I hooked it up to my transporter whilst working on it so give battery the charge. When taking the fuel filter off it was white foam.
But of course the battery still may of been below 10.5v even with the transporter hooked up to it.
The pump is making an awful sound.
From what I gather a week ago my colleague tried using a 50/50 mix veg/diesel. However the bottom of the tank was a thick layer of fatty consistency material which completely blocked the pump, completely cleaned the pump and tank and put 10 litres of clean diesel in with a fresh filter.
Tempted to put my pump in from my Disco to see if she fires up.

If it's manual try to bump start it, tow it untill it starts or start the engine with spray in the intake to make it run a bit

Couldn't have stopped in a better place its parked in a parking space which to get put you need to go forward then reverse a bit to get vehicles out due to a lamp post in the way .....its all going against us

It can be the crank sensor as well but maybe the injectors are clogged if the pump was gunked up too. A diagnostic tool would help to see if it gets enough rpm input

Thank you, just been looking at the start spray you mentioned this could.get her going. Fire her up at least would be brilliant

It would be good to run a bit maybe it blows out some restriction from the fuel rail or something, it runs on spray even without ECU, just dont exagerate with that
some hints for non starter here

Thank you for that will go get some of that spray tomorrow, I have seen that a few people needed to purge their TD5's several times to get it to start.
As you say it may clean out any gunk which is blocking up the rail.

Pleased to see it fire up, . Turned it off and back on again, and it drove fine with no sound from the pump anymore
