So what have you done to your car today?

[Doctor Gollum]

Is the fuel pump belt driven?

Thought about washing it, following its holibobs last week.

Glad I didn't, as next door are having their outside woodwork sanded ready for painting. Dust city

I might get the Albanians at Longford to do mine tomorrow. Desperately needs the bits of pigeon, bugs and Avgas washed off... Done almost 4,000 miles since its last bath

Is the fuel pump belt driven?

It is indeed. Pulley next to the cam pulley. Its has been carefully set in the correct position, so cant see that being the problem.

Just a thought

Averaging 30 - 31mpg on my new commute without faffing around.

Not bad at all for a big AWD bus.

Topped up the screenwash on the Omega and Boxster - that was it for the day. 
Will probably revisit Pierre tomorrow if my patience is feeling strong.
Refitted cambelt and other bits a couple of days ago and it wound over on the starter without any worrying noises.
No sign of it trying to start at all though.
Sprayed a bit of brake cleaner down the air intake and it fired up and ran for a few seconds.
Fault code suggests a problem with fuel supply, and it does indeed behave as though its not getting any fuel.
Cant imagine why it has decided to do this when the cambelt apparently jumped a few teeth while it was ticking over though. 

I know its common rail but is the pump timed ?

[Raeturbo]

It's dead I tell you.....

[Migv6 le Frog Fan]

I have read that the pump isnt timed, but there is a dot on the pulley to line up with a certain point on the engine, which I have done when refitting the cambelt.
I would love to scrap the little bastard, but tbh cant afford to replace it unless I sell the Boxster, and I would really like to avoid doing that for at least another year.

If its common rail then the pump is not timed, if its a clasic rotary or inline injection pump, then it is

But are you really sure it is dead?  You know, really dead?......
