Right had a little play with it
The fpr was only reading 76 on cranking.
Again would start with easy start
I took the fpr off and just dunked it in white spirit for 20 mins (bloody GMT, was worried about it getting dark as I worked on it)
Put it back on (admittedly with only one bolt as I dropped one in true formula one race mechanic style, never to be seen again)
It started first time with no issues.. I tentatively took it for a spin and it drove for a while and then did the usual sudden stop.
Engine light back on with the same fuel high pressure monitoring system fault. (Leak)
I know for certain there wasn't a visible leak(at least the first time)
I can safely say that the fpr is at fault, however is it logical that the fuel filter could be filthy causing debris to enter the high pressure pump and causing it to shut off? As a precaution I will be replacing the fuel filter anyway..
Now, where's the best place to get a new fpr and please tell me they come with bolts lol
