Hi Dave & welcome to the site. 8)

Most common problem is failure of the in-tank lift pump. You should be able to hear it running for about 4 seconds each time you turn on the ignition, (it restarts once you have oil pressure). Normally you can feel/see the fuel filter top swell a litlle when the lift pump's running.

Some cars have an inertia fuel cut-off switch on/near the n/s suspension turret - check if it needs reset.

2003 HDi 2.2 6-speed Exec Estate (2012-19) (also a gem)
2009 Citroen C5 2.0 HDi VTR+ Estate (godawful heap)

2007 BMW E91 325i touring (slower smoother quieter)

The pressure sensor on the HP pump has been a source of trouble to me, several times, not that it hasn't started at all but it has caused difficulty in starting especially when hot. Its held on to the pump with two screws, possibly torx or allen and is quite easy to remove.

You can get secondhand ones quite cheap on ebay but a new one is the best way to go. The lack of fuel pressure could indicate this or of course the pump but the only time I have changed a pump I found out later that the problem was actually the regulator.

It could also be an electronic fault but I would have thought the fault codes would have revealed that.
