Well after driving the motor locally now for nearly a week, I have experienced a loss of power with the engine.

Will check the hoses again, I made sure they were fine when I fitted the engine.

After driving it home last night and the same power loss, I got these codes.

I'd be inclined to check the low fuel pressure side of things first

I take it that the pump although working can loose its capacity when pumping, hence lack of fuel delivery.

Changed the pump in front of the rear wheel and all is well again. The old one looked original with those crimp clips holding the pipes. 120,000 miles later no wonder it started to go faulty.

What happens if you fill the fuel tank and then try it again?

Well the fuel tank has half a tank of fuel in it and I could not see any air bubbles in the clear pipe from fuel filter to high pressure pump.

No worries Steve! I'd pressure and not vacum check the pipe work though, easier to hear the hiss and test it with water/fairy liquid mix 😄😄 FFRR MY06 facelift With TDV8 Alloys Zeros/ATR's
