Hi guys n gals im thinking of buying another 2.5 td but it don't run it was on the bay about a week ago and didn't sell the problem im being told is that the car was parked up one night running fine and the day after would not start he thinks its a pump problem he has tried the pump in the tank it works fine there is diesel in the filter and thats as far as he got he seems to think it could be the pump or pump wiring has anyone else had this problem
TIA

now for the bad news it did sell but I think its more than just the pump spoted it othere week and got reminder it had been sold then next day it was back on, so would go look at it before you buy it, I thought it looked good.

Before you go down the route of the FIP, try disconnecting the Crank Sensor.... If that is not sending a good signal, you won't get fuel at the injectors either... 2 minutes to disconnect and test, will enable you to move the car (engine idles at about 1500 rpm) should it be necessary new rank sensor is also much cheaper than secondhand FIP....

Crank sensor just below starter motor and lead just unclips from the end... Also loose starter motor could be enough to corrupt the signal...
