Thanks for the help, its much appreciated as really need relaible car at 2am lol! XD

Don't worry about the low oil pressure alarm Stu - they do that when they stall.

I thought the oil thing was tads (they all do that sir) Had many a time on the 260 if i didnt get the clutch right with the cams lol!

Well, Ecu plenum is dry still but i thought i'd play wiggle the wire in the engine bay. Took the cover off and where the plug is for what i assume is the fueling, has the ron box thingy connected to it. Wiggled it and the engine started hunting. Took the tuning box off and it seems the last owner has roger'd the connector which looks like its worked its way loose over time.

Plugged the original wiring back in and went for a good long drive, a mix of steep hills and stop starting and no symptoms. Parked up earlier and will fire it up before i head for bed to make sure it starts, but fingers crossed i think this might be it. I do hope so though as it's my first real issue with the diesel, it's a new learning curve for me being used to the L-series from the stone age lol!

Will let y'all know tomorrow as always with my luck i say it's fixed, then it sneaks back up out of the blue!

Ouch! I was lucky in that mine was repairable but still cost me a couple of hundred
