Running out of hope now
Bought a brand new camshaft position sensor and fitted it gapped to 1.2mm - no change
Went to the scrap yard and raided a C5 and a 307 - got 2 pressure sensors, and 2 crankshaft sensors - tried all of those, no change
Swapped the entire fuel filter housing for one from the C5 - no change
Tried a bleed test of the injectors (hard when it will only crank over) - but all 4 seem to bleed the same amount
Took the return hose off and put it in a 1.5l bottle and cranking the car over fills it pretty quickly so there's definitely fuel moving around
I get the feeling this car is going to end up being scrapped which is daft as it's a mint car otherwise
The only thing I've got left to try is another high pressure fuel pump - local scrap yard only want £48 for one so I think that will be next weeks job - if that doesn't work it must be some stupid electrical fault which I don't have the patience to find
