Yep done that was fine. Only thing i saw was when engine stopped cranking fuel was travelling back from the pump. When bleeding lift pump how long to bridge the relay for? As when I done it fuel was spurting out of olive nut before tightening.

Lift pump self-bleeds. New ones lack the one-way valve. You can add one. So, fuel is reaching the FIP. As Data says, injector unions should be left loose and car cranked until fuel leaks out and then nipped up. Get ready as it may start!

Wouldn't expect it ti flatten a battery bit you never know. Inertia switch worth checking and EMS code with Nanocom (which you said was fine).

The battery that was in there was knakered anyway to be honest. What's best way checking the inertia switch?

Hoping new battery will freshen things. Not got nanacom just that dongle black box do and flashed green. Hoping battery will turn up tomorrow.

Dont suppose anyone knows how long need to crank it for till fuel emerges as data said took fair amount of power?

Driver's footwell, right hand side, remove panel and press button.

Fuel came through pretty quickly on mine but it was a brand new lift-pump as well. Been a few years so my memory cannot be trusted but maybe 12 seconds?

No need to bleed the lift pump. If fuel is running back are all the leak off pipes and the end cap in place?

They are mate yeah, the duff battery just made things difficult. The solenoid was getting between 6-8 volts dropping off.

Do I need to leave the olive nut loose in the FIP until fuel emerges and tighten? This is what I done yesterday.

No jump the lift pump leave it running for a while the injection pump will self bleed. Then leave the pipes on the injectors loose about quarter of a turn and crank engine until there is no air then nip up each injector as that happens. Engine may fire whilst doing this.

Ok thank you new battery turned up will hook it up tomorrow and try again.

So on lift pump side leave nut tightened and run pump for how long please you think?
 
Gents I am at a complete loss now. Battery was good allowing fuel to high pressure pipes bleed ok just wont fire. Everything is sync up.
