As per when I posted a while back my HDi is still randomly not starting hope no one minds but started a new post becouse I think I have narrowed the problem down and I need your help :-).
I noticed when it refuses to start the clear plastic pipes from the primer bulb and the filter to the pump are 1/2 Diesel 1/2 air and when cranking no fuel is going through.
Im sure its airlocking if I primed the bulb to the filter it seemed totally locked up then it would weep fuel from the filter seal so I tightened it and the car run fine for a week with no bubbles in the clear pipes.
Last night it refused to start again no matter what so this morning I have fitted a new filter and seal and eventually got the air out of the pipes and its running great however if I stop the engine and prime the bulb its still weeping fuel at the diesel filter seal do they all do this as I suppose something has to give
Failing that could it be the plastic top itself thats warped or not sealing correctly?
