    its all running now, but with other problems.... i made a air tight suction device that consisted of the bottom of a small funnel, some yellow hose pipe and my mouth lol.... took of the in feed to my filter housing, made a tight fit with the bottom of a funnel and shoved the hose over that, sucked for no more than 10 secs and had a mouth full of diesel (shocked) so quickly clipped the feed bk on.... whilst looking i noticed i had a little leak from the fuel line connector to the injector, so i took of the pipe from my distrubition block to my injector, cleaned it all up, wiped it loads and refitted.. on every injector i cracked the in feed open a little to let the air out.... once this was done approx 6 turns of the key once they were tightened back up it came to life, but now i did a scan and came up with 2 codes, P0087 fuel pressure low... and U1900 network error, really unsure on what this means even after a goole search....

    Looking at my injectors again i noticed that the 2nd 1 from my left was blowing out diesel from the block now i need get this sorted asap (expected code p0087 for this).. would this be a o-ring seal or not? will it be a easy diy fix? going on holiday on friday and worried .....

    if anybody could point me in the right direction that would be much appreciated thankyou very much....

    Im glad its running mate, told you it was air :P, on the faults take note as you have and delete them and see if they return, on the leak this does need fixing but I have no experience of these injectors and engine so will leave to someone who has done this already.
