no it shows theres either a blockage in the screen in pump housing or air /gases in fuel system ,which could be down to poor injector fitting ie bottom copper washer

Thanks for getting back to me I deffo think I have problem with the pump in the tank due to me never hearing this before, as for the bottom washer for the injector no idea will have to ask the garage what they did and if propper parts have been used.

Still sounds like blocked fuel filter gauze and/or copper washers feeding exhaust gasses back through the fuel.

just cleaning the red plug is like a massage to a wood leg...you need to replace the injector harness too... and put a new quality fuel filter...if no joy the alternatives were pointed by jamesmartin and ratty

Get it to a decent garage who understand diesels - TD5's in particular.Ask them to do a compression test as a first action.I've got one waiting to be taken away at the moment.Has shown similar symptoms,compression is down on 3 of the 5 cylinders....
The easy way to compression test is with an oscilloscope measuring starter current via an inductive clamp on one of the battery leads.

I had to change my harness and clean the plug 4 times as oil kept coming out of the ECU but I didn't fancy opening it up to clean it. Make sure and take the white part out of the plug and I used a hair dryer to ensure the electrical cleaner was evaporated or it can get trapped and cause a problem as the seal is waterproofed.
