Not checked vacuum as don't have correct tooling yet. I took blue silicone pipe (possibly not original) off intake of Y piece and didn't look in it, but yes I suppose there is a giant actuator there. Are you suggesting trying to power up the actuator to open it and squirtung some magic juice in 😆

Not had throttle body out, just pipe.off to squirt the not so magic juice 😋

No I haven't, is that just before the Y piece?

Is there any particular brand of fuel filter to buy or avoid?

Yeah I don't see the point in dropping the tank. The codes I posted originally was all there was in there and can only presume that was from when it was running. I still have an inkling that it's fuel related as everything else checks out. I'll try and measure presure in the morning.

Ah I do actually, I bought a couple of silverline ones but they're so bad I would happily sacrifice one 😁 0.5 bar that's about 7 psi so not sure how accurate it'll be at that level but worth a shot. I would like to think previous people had changed fuel filters but who knows as I haven't yet. So...

Yeah good shout...as you say back to basics, although it was nice clean diesel coming out of the top valve. I agree ref glow plugs though. I genuinely think this is something simple which is why I'm reluctant to send it elsewhere.

Ha, that's fine I really appreciate your help. I'll look tomorrow if I get that data actually as I think it does. Defibately a weird one though from what the guy said.

I just spoke to the previous owner again for clarification and he confirms car literally cut out on him going up a hill and has only started briefly by garage on easy start. Could this suggest some sort of fuel starvation from the incline? I have fuel at the tyre valve but can I crack off and...

Ah ok, what am I testing resistance? If so which colour wire, where and what values am I looking for as I presume this wire will have a six connected to it in parallel. Cheers

Sorry you mean refer to the you tube guy....ok I'll have another look. Thanks.

Easy to check them how, without taking them out? From what I understand isn't one under the pump? 😬 thanks

I tried uploading the video but it says I don't have the permissions.

Around 130-150 rpm

You mean read rpm.on live data while cranking? I can do that 😁

Well that's just it there is no code for that. You would normally get a cam to crank correlation code p0016.. but that is the line I am now following I think.

OK so yes the pump belt turns fine when engine is rotated by hand. Pump belt is on same cam as Cambelt by the looks of things, but I'm presuming if little cam chain had gone on passenger side there would be all sorts of hideous noises. So I am now determining that as I was told all belts etc are...

OK I'll see what I can do. Ill try turning engine over first, but feel this going to get very specialist. It's definitely a strange one.Thanks

I've also watched a couple of videos on changing pump belt and they both stated that it isn't timed at all, yet you mentioned it could only be a tooth or so out.. just curious.
