Have a look at that thread i posted as there are quite a few that have suffered the same fate. The LED is very hard to see in the day light and now at night i can see it reflecting the inside of the windscreen like a Headup display. Have another look mate as i would be very surprised if you did not have the NATS system from factory. (I could be wrong but was not aware that they selectively fitted this. it is not an accessory like an alarm)

My 2006 DX model doesn’t have NATS

Defenatly no led or anything like it? Immobilisers are for flash people I only drive a dx, the key door locks don't even work haha. There is one little wire that goes to the pump it is, red, purple and yellow??? Like 3 separate wires joined over 200mm. My car is Ex mining so there are all sorts of goodies hiding around the car that I know nothing about, like the clutch wired into ignition so she won't even crank with out the clutch in. Maybe that is enough of an immobiliser for the mines?

Nor does my 2005 GUIV TD42Ti.......Now......But before!!!

Certainly sounds like electrical Fuel solenoid to me.

I'm leading to Darren's thought of a pin hole in the fuel line..
Being ex mining it's possible had some course dirt build up and run threw somewhere.

Have you tried priming it before starting each time??

Yeah priming it doesn't affect the situation at all when she doesn't want to start, the frustrating thing with the problem is it can go away for weeks then suddenly return at a complete random time so I never know if something I'm doing is fixing the issue.

Random shit like that is almost invariably electrical.

I'm not saying I am right about the Glow problem but in any case I would be eliminating the easiest/cheapest stuff first but looking at electrics.
