Just to follow up, in my defence, your honour. It is not always straight forward, The issues were multiple and complex, all of them having an impact, from the ECU, the failing HP pump and the bodged in tank fuel pump/float assembly and leaking connections. The AA guy discovered the puddle of diesel under the seat and he repaired the fuel pipe bodge, so I can see why he would direct his attention to those areas. The garage could see that fuel flow to the front of the car was adequate at best, then the HP side went, so I get why they concentrated on that area. Me, I just get to pay for it all.
The car now runs very well, especially when you consider I have just crossed the 215k miles! No noise and no smoke. Thanks to all who helped and yes, when my finances have recovered I will replace the ECU, I can live with it for now.
Cheers
Toby
