Thanks for the advice everyone Ive just had a land rover mechanic round who has diagnosed the problem as a faulty fuel pump so if anyone has one at reasonable price let me know. Thanks

When Ive tried the priming procedure I cant even hear the pump which make me think it could be that the fuse is ok.

Thanks Andy I will give it a go

Cheers Andy when I try to prime the pump Ive read that I should be able to hear the pump but there is no noise at all would this indicate a faulty pump ? and would this be an easy job to do ?

There was oil in the red plug so I cleaned that and dried it out I checked the turbo hoses all ok and I changed the fuel filter I took the car for a test drive and it cut out and will not start now. Is there anyway of testing the fuel pump and the air flow meter ?

Thank you both for your help I will let you know the outcome

Thanks for that I will give it a go tomorrow and let you know
