It has turned out that the low pressure pump was working intermittently and wasn't giving a constant supply to the high pressure pump. although it wasn't working properly it did always seem to pump gas when I was checking for it. I changed it and all came to life. I really blame myself for not catching this but mabye this can help others.
Thanks for your time,

I'm glad you got this fixed. It is important to start with the basics of checking for fuel pressure, spark etc. Thanks for using my site and helping others with their car repairs!
