Happily driving my L322 when the 'Fuel System Error' message displayed and the engine just died. Managed to steer off the road and called the AA. At this point, the engine cranked fast but did not start. The AA mechanic arrived and removed part of the air input plastic pipework and squirted 'EasyStart' into the air intake whilst I cranked the engine on full throttle. It started! He thought that air had got into the system.
My local garage found a pinhole in the fuel pipe so replaced it and the two rubber pipes at each end. Today, it failed again. My son disconnected the fuel filter output pipe and got a small quantity of air out before diesel started to run. I cranked the enging and got a nice jet of diesel. Reconnected the pipe, would not start. Used the EasyStart and off she went. Got home OK.
Tomorrow I will check the ODB2 for any useful fault codes.
Now for the big question - what to do/check now?
Kind Regards
