Another newbie with an TD 4 engine problem

Hi

It is 2000 model

Couple of months back I was on the motorway and the engine cut dead, pulled over and it started but engine symbol light stayed on.

My mechanic mate had it checked and replaced a valve which had two electric connectors.

A month later it wouldn't start discovered it was the high pressure electric pump next to the battery. Replacement (expensive) pump seems to run all the time when the engine is running is that correct ??

Yesterday it started ran for a bit and cut dead, did that several times, I got the other set of key and remote, started it drove around the block all seemed OK.

Could it be the battery in the other remote ??

Thank you all Bob
