Hi. I have just changed the fuel filter on my 2004 V70 D5 (paper type), and now it won’t start. It ran for a bit then died so I’m assuming the pump needs priming. How do I do this? I’ve cycled the ignition on and off 10-15 times and then left it in position 2 for 1.5 minutes and it still won’t start. There’s about 1/4 of a tank of diesel left. Is it just a case of keep priming it or have I messed it up somehow?

ETA: there is nothing leaking from the filter housing while the ignition is on so I suspect the seal is ok.
