Cheers. Suck fuel up from the return line and the fuel line before the filter and examine for fine metallic particles, also check the filter. If there is fine metallic particles you need a new pump, injectors, common rail, and new tank if not a full thorough flush to remove all the metal. Check your insurance policy as you may be able to claim.

Put in 10 litres of diesel, bled the system again and it started first go. Drove it around for a few k’s being sure to have the fuel slosh around the tank as best I could.
