Broken down!! Advice needed

The stack pipe is in the fuel tank and corrodes where it comes out. Not mega bucks from milners if it is.
Try and bleed the system and look for bubbles by slackening the pipe after the fuel filter.

We've done about 60 miles since it was last fuelled

Forgot to add use the lift pump on top of the filter to check.

@Major Malfunction - should I crack the bleed bolt on the filter and pump the lift pump to expel air, then turn it over? (Looking for best way to check!)

Deffo worth a go it's a quick check to try and get you home

What's your guess Lee @123hotchef

#33 by 123hotchef , Wed Jan 04, 2017 9:49 pm

when the rev counter goes wild do the actual revs follow it?

Mrs Diver can't remember sadly Lee, she says it shuddered and she was distracted by that! :/

Did you get it started @jimthediver

#37 by jimthediver , Thu Jan 05, 2017 9:17 am

Gave up on it the dark last night and off out to it again shortly. Thanks all for your advice so far, will report back this evening!

Gents - thanks to all who gave advice on this. Bled the fuel lines as suggested, made no difference.
Rang RAC who turned up in under an hour (thats a first for rural Suffolk), with 2 mechanics on board!
They managed to get it started, but it ran with massive amounts of black oily smoke from the exhaust. There was no boost coming from the turbo when they squeezed the top hose coming to the intercooler.
Suffice to say, it wasnt a quick roadside repair - flatbedded to our local 4x4 specialists who are going to have a look tomorrow. RAC thinking is either timing belt has skipped a couple teeth on the fuel pump pulled leading to very rich mixture or turbo has failed (in some way, they werent very specific)
Ill update when I hear back for the garage - hoping its not turbo related having just seen the price of a replacement on the Milners website

@123hotchef would a duff CSS be picked up by an ecu fault code?

#42 by 123hotchef , Thu Jan 05, 2017 8:12 pm

possibly not, u said you took the top cam cover off and the belts were all intact didnt you

#43 by jimthediver , Thu Jan 05, 2017 8:14 pm

Took top timing belt cover off and all appeared OK ( to my verybamateur eye)

#44 by 123hotchef , Thu Jan 05, 2017 8:17 pm

ha ha u need to look down with a torch for the balance belt, i could just be timming jumped

Update from the Garage - they are 90% sure its the Crankshaft Speed Sensor (which, if faulty, will give intermittent Turbo Over boost diagnostic code apparently!!)
They will confirm Monday, but pretty confident that's the cause - apparently the wildly flucating speedo just before it died is a good symptom of this!!
Thanks all for your advice and suggestions - top award goes to @123hotchef who called CSS!

#46 by 123hotchef , Fri Jan 06, 2017 5:56 pm

check the wiring and multi plugs that go from pump to sensor first before stripping it down these connectors can corrode or wires break making it appear the CSS is at fault when it is just the wiring
