I did them not too long ago Saffy. Suppose it wouldn't harm to check 'em again! Ta.

Saffy:
could check pump timing too, maybe belt jumped a tooth or was never aligned on markings properly when fitted.

TDi90:
Yes, i would go for the cambelt next. take it off and replace (as your there.) Time her up.

90Mike:
Had the same thing on a disco recently, when we took the fuel pick up out of the tank and checked the end it looked like it was blocked with jelly, quick blow out with the air line now runs perfectly. If you dont have any luck there next step would be cambelt / pump timing  :azn:   

bigfatsi:
Thanks for all the input.

Latest update:

For some reason the truck decided to fix itself for a week and ran spotlessly. No problems whatsoever. Then, out of the blue, the problems came back. But worse.

Struggled to get it home after a quick run down the road. No power at all. Engine would die as if starved of fuel then come to life for a few seconds, then die, then come back to life. Finally it would stall but start again straight away.

Starts no problem on a morning so I'm confident it isn't an air leak in the pipe. Took the inspection panel off the cambelt casing and grabbed the IP 'nut'. Had quite a bit of end float play (about 1-2mm) so I'm presuming it's goosed.

I've bought a 300tdi FIP to replace it and I'll do the cam belt at the same time. Wish me luck. If it isn't the IP then I'm gonna scream!

Thanks again. I'll keep you updated.
