Default Stall and refuse to restart

My CDTi has always started instantly, hot or cold, no matter how log its been stood. The other day, after a twenty mile run, entering my drive it stalled blocking the road. It had started cold instantly as usual, driven fine all the way, right back to drive gates.



Its a tricky entrance, up hill, so I tend to slow right down. It stalled, cranked over quite easily, but failed to restart, for maybe 30 seconds.


I'll run some diagnostics on it later, but suggestions welcome..

Fix a poor handbrake; DIY ABS diagnostic unit; Loan of the spanner needed to change the CDT belts; free OBD diagnostics +MAF; Correct Bosch MAF cheap; DVB-T install in an ex-hi-line system; DD install with a HK amp; FBH servicing.

I've taken a vow of poverty. To annoy me, send money.

Fuel regulator seals on the back of the HP I had the same,None starting problem. You could try a sniff of Easy start which is what I did to see If it starts and runs

How much fuel onboard Harry?

If low your ITP may have bought the farm.

Have a quick listen to the open fuel filler pipe with key to position II.

And does the oil light comes on as it should with key to position II?

It a two pump system, half a tank of fuel and I was in too much of a hurry blocking the road to try to investigate. I check the tank pump regularly by listening at the filler, but I will check again.


I've had a can of Easystart in the boot, just in case, since I originally got the car.



Thanks..


Tank pump is running, sound fine, quiet; No DTC's at all, it has done around 3,000 since I last checked for DTC; it started as normal, with hardly any cranking.



Would a cam sensor trigger a DTC?



I know injector leakback wouldn't and I have never, ever checked that.
