Starts then cuts out then re-starts

TD5 CSW.

Serviced ~6 weeks ago, inc fuel filter.

In the last week on 4 occasions has started and as I've put it in gear stopped. Turn engine over a number of times (feels like forever but realistically 15-30 seconds) and then fires. Drives normally between. Not when cold thus far.

Feels like fuel starvation as no smoke out of the exhaust until she starts.

Is this suggestive of anything?

- bleed the system
- measure fuel pressure. should be 4.2
- check the red connector above your fuel filter. Clean out crap.

Was the fuel purge done after the fuel filter was changed? Ray
