rover 420 help needed

[Rotary-Motion]

had same the other day on a 51 plate bora, it had air in system flatted battery trying to start it (usually starts first key) so we bumped it and if fired straight up, it eventually cleared the air out.... ok now.

when you first ran out was it tottally empty and stalled stopped? then you switched to other tank?

does it fire up on diesel ok now?

i have done everything everyone has kindly sugested.  ive fitted a new started motor, ive stripped all the injectors out and cleaned them, including the injector feed lines, ive checked the start stop selunoid thats working fine. ive had the pump timing done, its struck up off the key but as soon as you stop it it wont start again. there is no air in the fuel line system. checked banjo bolt all clear. ive have checked the air flow meter thats fine. no air in the system.
if anyone has any ideas i would be grateful as i feel like im flogging a dead horse
i did not run out of fuel

Any sign of fuel leaking from the injection pump driveshaft?  Can you put some clear pipe on the pump return (the one that goes back to the tank) to see if that is creamy - indicating air getting into the pump itself either through the drive shaft seal or maybe throttle arm shaft?

Just out of interest have you put a live feed to the stop solonoid then tried to start it?
it may loose the 12v feed while turning over.
