I had exactly the same issues with my diesel a few weeks ago, it was the in tank fuel pump failing. The under bonnet pump was running fine but was noisy, so I changed both. Front one is relatively easy to change, rear one is harder but I did it and am not a mechanic, takes some patience though, quality rear pump about £70, you only need the pump, not the whole assembly it fits into.... front pump about £30, but you can pay more! If you take out the rear pump, make sure you note where the assembly fits into the tank, I didn't and it was only with the help of the pics I got from the pump vendor that I worked it out!!!
