Cheers for that, very detailed. I'm having the crank pulley done first and will let you know how I get on with the sender if I attempt it. Many thanks for everyone's help and suggestions. Phil

Thanks for all the replies. After having the car for a week and changing the clocks, the tank sender is now the fault. With the garage unwilling to go further I'm thinking of changing it myself. Is it an easy job and how do I go about it? Lol Thanks again.

Had a reply back from the garage. He says the fuel gauge isn't working, which I suspected as both times it cut out it had 2 blocks left on the gauge. He said he will replace the clocks? By this I suppose he means the dash dials? Is there a way of telling if the sender in the tank is working without taking all the dash out?

Thanks for your reply. The pump can be heard in the tank so will get filter looked at then hopefully a better diagnostic.

Hi, I'm new to this site and require some assistance if possible please. I've recently acquired a 53 reg xsara picasso 2.0 hdi. It ran fine for the first few weeks but has now started to cut out while driving and the engine fault light appears on the display Aswell as the orange engine light. My local mechanic has diagnosed a fault of p0089 or high fuel pressure. On both occasions the fuel gauge has shown 2 blocks and no low level light or buzzer came on. When I put a can of diesel in it will start after a couple of tries. It does seem to be a fuel problem but don't know where to start. Fuel pressure regulator? Fu pump? Any help or suggestions will be greatly appreciated. I like the car but can only see an expensive bill ahead!! On the first occasion the light had gone off after restarting after 20 miles but is now still on but the car will start??
