Changed fuel filter but wont fire up

[arrolman]

Hi,

Changed the fuel filter today, was beyond knackered, never a lifetime thing. Anyway, put all back together, tried to start it but wont fire up, can hear pump working and starter going but theres obviously no fuel getting pulled through. Fuel is coming out the rail no problems after I bleed the air out. Is there a manual pump on the fuel pump side? All the instructions I have read say it should fire back up after 15 seconds or so of cranking. Got half a tank in it, filter is brimmed with fuel. Anyone any ideas before I strip the full unit out the tank? Car is R50 model.

Cheers,
Iain

Petrol or diesel?

Check the inertia switch, it should be at the rear of the engine bay on the passenger side looks like this. http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/09/29/f86920220da14fffc8e9296e1db04e9a.jpg
