Any fault codes present, ones that aren't related to the fuel pump!?
Also you could try Easy Start, just to confirm it is a fuel problem.

bleed the system?
How? There is no official bleeding procedure for these pumps, the system is meant to be self priming. You could try loosening the fuel feed to the injector furthest from the pump but it probably won't help.

Best thing to do is make sure the fuel filter bowl is full of fuel and then operate the starter in 10-15 second bursts, allowing time for the starter motor to cool before cranking again. After around 4 cycles you'll need to fill the fuel filter back up and start again. This may not help if the pump timing is out or the pump is still brokended...
