No did not drain totally so filter should be ok. Defiantly going to look close at the pump wiring. Still reckon a fuel pressure gauge will steer me in the right direction.

Just wondered if you were pumping through the filter so as to check it wasn't blocked

I hate intermittent faults. You can never replicate them when your on your drive with a garage full of tools and spare parts
And the s2 loaded up with drills steps and general sparky equipment just looks wrong.
Still should have an ex AA Renault traffic soon....in all it's yellow goodness

Think I've got to the bottom of this now and it's not good
It's oil getting into the cylinders 2 and 3 to be precise.
Managed to break down completely the other day got towed home and began investigating.
Fuel supply Fine
Spark on all 4 good
Plugs out had a look in the cylinders, oily in 2 and 3.
Filled the cylinders with brake cleaner, turned it over on the starter with the injectors unplugged and spark plugs out. A brown shower shot across the drive
Cleaned throttle valve(oily), inlet hose(oily), MAF and air box.
Reassembled and reconfigured breather to run catch tank (empty milk shake bottle)
Now runs OK
Collected this much oil in about 100 miles
Cylinder head was reconditioned 3000 miles ago

get your self a 2L ADY block from a mk3/vento and swap all your standard things off your engine, including head, manifolds exhaust, all the brackets for alternator PAS pump etc, bung a new cambelt and head gasket at the same time, hay presto 135-140bhp and buckets of lovely 8v torque......Think I've got to the bottom of this now and it's not good
