Searching on here theres a post that states the fuel pump needs to be removed to get access to change it.

LOL Its not over heating. AA guy said the faulty sensor stops the van from starting. I know nowt about how these things work.
jacky wrote:Hi, yep no indication of any overheating. Im pretty sure he said something about the faulty sensor is sending a message to the computer and the van thinks its too warm so stops it starting ?? I honestly dont know how he came to this conclusion as he never run any diagnostics (No engine light on either). Vans going in next week to see what the issue is

Sounds more like a faulty crank or cam sensor to me
jacky wrote:Hi, yes I also thought it would throw up an engine management light but it hasnt. When I turn the key in the morning it starts no problem (Cold engine). If I turned the engine off and try and re start thats when it wont.
When i try and start it the starter motor just cuts out after turning a good few times. Am i right in saying they are made to do that?.
It usually starts after the 3rd or 4th attempt.
Ive ordered Forscan . Thanks for that
