53 TD4 won't start!

Went out this morning and started fine. Plugged in tyre inflator to both cigaret lighter sockets to pump up the tyres.

Just went out and it won't start. Checked all fuses in drivers side glove box, and under bonnet on passenger side, all good. The thing that's worrying me now is, when the ignition is turned on, the electric fuel pump that normally buzzes isn't buzzing. I'm hoping it's not the fuel pump! Could it be the fuel pressure sensor? Anything else I should check now?

How can I check the fuel pump?

Just been out to it, it started this time!

I read something about a common fault on these not starting when hot. Anyone know what can cause it? The guy who made the post said it's something to do with a pair of orings....? But that's all I got!

Could be your camshaft sensor, there should be a fair few threads about it if you do a search.

Sounds like my recent experiences with the fuel lift pump. I realise yours will have a rear wheelarch located lift pump rather than the underbonnet one, which mine has, but you might want to look at my recent thread: Fuel Lift Pump Intermittent (sorry, I don't know how to insert a hyperlink on here!)

Cheers mate, it's been fine since that one time it didn't start.
