Soz, may have led you up garden path - the code and the 'fuel cutoff solenoid' are the normal ones found in FIPs.  Not sure if there is an inertia type one, can't find anything useful

The fuse 18 has never been fitted in this car, even took the fuse box out to check behind it but nothing. An inertia type would make sense as no codes but cant find it if there is one

sorry guys but dont think there is an inertia switch n fact i know there isnt!! i first things first
1 take off fuel filter an fill it and replace i know these engines are a bugger to bleed and the slightest air leak will stop the fuel being drawn up as it relys on suction from the injector pump to draw the fuel ,stupid design but there you go once the filter is full have someone crank it while you crack off the injectors to help with the bleeding process unless you have a vac pump?
if not an old trick is a gallon of diesel in a can and a pipe leading from can to pump so you get gravity feed to the pump and it should fire up, if it runs then you have an air leak somnewhere in the fuel system,

I've fitted a bulb type hand pump with a oneway valve to the fuel feed pipe, similar to the ones fitted to Rover/peugeots.

Just an update, I tried everything today and more. Even towed it to try and get some life into it to no avail. Its now booked into the specialists next week, will let you know how it goes

Update. Ended up being a new pump as local specialists unable to repair. £1272 supplied, fitted and set up  but its going well now.

I fitted a good used pump to mine at a fraction of the price
