HELP after Fuel Filter Change and Fuel Regulator over haul..
Please can you help me fix my problem, the engine turns over and won't fire up!!

Yesterday I removed the fuel pressure regulator unit and replaced various parts and then fitted back on and it started and all work perfectly fine.

Then today I have carried a service, oil change and oil and fuel filter change.

I did not put any fuel into the new fuel filter!

The Defender fired up for approximately 30 seconds and then cut out, I have tried many times to start the engine including pressing the accelerator pedal to make the fuel pump kick in.

I have unscrewed the fuel filter and there is fuel and I have undone the the fuel (exit) pipe on the regulator and fuel is coming out.

Now I am stuck, does anyone have any tips please?????

Try initiating a priming sequence .
Turn ignition to pos 2 and wait for pump to stop running, then pump throttle pedal fully up and down five times. Pump will now run on and off for a couple of minutes. Key off, throttle pedal on the floor and start
