Ok, think that I will need to sum all these things up.
Car was able to start and run finewhen the screw was forgotten, a nice stream of diesel was spraying the enginebay at the same time.
I thought that I finally found the problem, air in the pump so I returned the screw for the earth connention on the fuel advance solenoid and also attached the plunger in to the stop solenoid again. Jumped in the car, put in the code, voila.. Car didnt start again.
Removed the stop solenoid plunger, still dead.
Removed the screw for the earth point on stop solenoid so it was a straight trough hole into the pump again, still dead.
Then bought another engine with a lucas pump for spares and got a tip from a guy on a swedish forum that i should check the non-return valve in the return line. It was completely stuck, both ways. Changed to my spare and car runs fine since then
Thank you Dave for all your inputs, really really appreciated
