Just in case anyone was interested, I ended up calling the AA out, was told it was 100% a fuel pump issue, replaced the fuel pump, and the issue wasn't solved (£100 down the toilet). Had a couple of mates come over, checked the fuel filter (all clear), checked the air filter (just in case), and when one of my mates rang one of their mates we were pointed at the secondary fuel pump (I think that's what it's called, the one next to the fuel filter). I unplugged the fuel pressure valve (I'd been looking at the one on the fuel rail), the dash light vanished, and it started immediately. Praise be.

Thanks so much Alisdair, I'll see what I can do!

Please forgive my ignorance, but where will I find negative to body connections?

Thanks Alisdair. Checked them and they fell well within the expected range. The mew issue is the car is turning over, but won't start, and it throwing up a P0091 error code.

Thanks all for your suggestions. Replaced the battery and that seems to have solved that issue, however now we have a new issue 👌 love cars so much 😂

Wondered if anyone could help. I'm having an issue where if I drive a short trip, my car then won't start. It tries to turn over, but then just clicks. Checked the voltage before and after start, and it seems to line up with what the Internet suggests as acceptable levels, so doesn't seem like it's an alternator issue. Bad battery perhaps? It's only a year old and showing green on the indicator. Thanks in advance! 2012 Octavia 1Z estate 2.0 tdi
