If it does, at least it would give you a direction to look into ,whether that be the pump, injectors, fuel filter assembly ... Even so Vida is your friend.
Thanks for the reply

Fuel rail pressure is constantly above 26000 kpa when running according to my ODBII reader, although I ought to check it pre starting condition.

Also the glow plug light & engine light flicks on and off combined with a relay sound if key left in ignition position 2 for any period of time.
The relay sound seems close, like it’s in the passenger cabin, or in the engine fuse box. Any ideas what relay this could be?

I’d still like to understand the purpose of the fuel filter pre-heater if anyone knows, it is something that I know is broken.

I’m looking to get a Vida ASAP
