    HI, iv not really had any non starts when hot but i have done loads of fuel filters for lack of power and changed glow plugs on these for hard to start. Would defo put a fuel filter on it and give it a go.

    Hi cheers for the reply. I have basically ruled out the fuel filter housing by a remote feed to the fuel pump!!! still wouldn't start.

    I have also found out low fuel pressure using a snap-on code reader. the readings were about 10-15 bar at cranking pressure. Also done a leak back on all four injectors which turned out to be good. I have replaced 1 glow plug also an earth lead which bolts onto the cylinder head, look out for those. in the process of fitting an other fuel pump. cheers
