When is it reading 400bar? Before you crank it? It should be zero before cranking, and then rise to above 200 bar before it fires (although we know it won't!). What is cranking speed reported by Lexia? If you clear the fault codes, does the one related to the FPS sensor come back straight away?

DO NOT Think that the Short Cuircuit faults automatically mean a Wiring fault! THEY DONT!

They are useually the item fault, OR something thats centrally related to them all..

Have you gone to the Clear Faults page and cleared all the faults from it?? Did any remain? Clear them and try the car..

As I said above, you can rule out the heater plug one, the HDI doesnt really need the plugs in UK weather to start..

Have you checked ALL the under bonnet fuses, and the Large Feed fuses? Shounds like a power feed fault for both the pressure sensor (in the bottom of the rail) and the Pump fault. Ive not got a HDi wiring diagram, I dont think..

ok well glad u said that cause thats wat it suggests so thats good :)
yea it shows in the trace after i cleared them the three perminant ones remained so somethings related..
ok thats not a problem then :) thinking its possibly related though..
yeah ive checked the fuses with multimeter and all are sound..
yeah thats a good call..
thanks paul :)

If you have the choice, get an SX, as the wiring (from what I have read on the forum) for the seats is in place (making it easy to swap and connect them up). The LX/Forte do not have this wiring.
