Just an update on this issue, by the way thanks for all the help. I've have enough time to prove it now and, touch wood, it looks like it was the crank sensor after all. When I first got a TD5, not really have much to do with them, I though mine was running as it should do, plenty of punch when...

Swapped pumps, fitted genuine saw no issues of black sludge. Apart from getting it going again after stopping the issues seems to be. It's starts runs drives for a short distance, this time I was only turning it around, started and ran twice before the same day. Runs then just seems to die...

Just had the crank sensor out, don't have a new one but worth a look. Replaced it tried again, same turns over, not slowly either same as it always had. Scratched head and decided to change fuel filter, only done about 2k since last time, although two ish year ago. Primed twice, turned over...

got in my 83 110, it has a 93 200tdi fitted and has always been a very good starter. All ignition lights came on and the heater fan, tried to start then everything went dead, as if there was no battery. Thought at first it was the main 80amp fuse so got a couple of friends to push me off, 1st...
