I was going to suggest that, following the "ignition on" pump priming test, you could follow up with the cranking test. If the pump fails to operate during cranking then the crankshaft position sensor circuit is where you should look. But start with following T-Cut's advice on ensuring that the filter canister is tight and suitably clipped. Simon

Bit of an update for anyone interested. Had the RAC out with the simple goal of getting towed to the specialist garage I use. They guy that arrived was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic and wanted to check a few things so I was happy to let him.
We ended up checking the timing, the compression, the coils and plugs, the pump functionality and he read through fault codes and all that is left is the filter assembly which I know has been suggested by you fine people and is what I was thinking it was too. When he went to take a look after i had told him I'd already had it out and I wouldn't hold him responsible for any damage the actual filter housing came apart in his hands so I suspect now that I've had it out the bayonette is free and loose. I've now ordered the white clip that is now available along with a new oring as suggested so I'm hoping that will solve it. If it isn't that then I am truly out of options for what I'm prepared to do in the current tempritures and weather, fingers crossed. Shaun Sent from my M2007J3SG using Tapatalk |

Hi all.
New filter oring and filter housing clip are on. I can feel the system pressurising through the fuel filter outlet pipe (or I think I can). Still no start. Question is on the 1.8t would I have the problem of having to add more fuel to the pump side? When the RAC were out the other day £15 was added to that side and whilst we did turn the car over a lot when they were looking would the pump move that much petrol to the filter side? Anyway if this isn't the problem is appreciate where next to look? I've been looking at a new car to turn this into a full hobby project instead of it being a rolling project.....please save me from myself hahahaha. Shaun Sent from my M2007J3SG using Tapatalk |

Just an update the car is running again thankfully. I undid the filter again and it appeared the oring was in position. I did notice that the float arm was unattached from the filter housing but I can't imagine that was causing the issue. The positive is it's now reattached, the oring is new and I have the clip on the filter housing so silver lining. Final question before I call this issue closed. I did add another 5 litres with a petrol can so the tank is over 1/4 full now so the question is could I see the issue again if the tank falls below 1/4 or is that only with the diesels?

With the petrol engines you can let the tank run as low as you like and the pump is very reliable. Simon
