i have the same problem with my astra 1.7 tdi it fires up when i use easystart but when i stop using it engine stops it will start and run ok when its been towed for about 5 miles iv asked many macanics and they all say its drawing air in some where so your not alone with this problem hope it is just something simple like air im going to have go at fixing it at weekend if i get any where il let you no. regards chris

vectras are self bleeders --- common fault is the pump itself --- possible sucking air be4 the pump check lines
