Update / looking for advice again. After previous post I have finally taken this further. Put more fuel in tank so it's now half full. Both fuel pumps run with ignition on, stop after 30secs or so as they should. The engine turns over fine but won't start. With Easy start via EGR the engine fires but then dies. So it looks like a fuel starvation issue - but I am not sure if due to a fuel system or electronic cause. The car was running perfectly until laid up around November and during lay up battery was disconnected. It has done 90 000 miles only (though as outlined in previous post odometer now reading 999 999 for some reason). Any advice on where to look next gratefully received!
