Changed inlet manifold - now won't start

Hi Folks,

I have just changed the driver's side inlet manifold on my 2011 Disco 4 3.0L TDV6 due to it splitting.
During the job I did a bit of damage. The plastic connectors for the injector return lines were brittle as hell so broke apart as I removed them. I replaced the right hand set of return lines with rubber hose (couldn't see why I should spend £100 on a new set for both sides). Also managed to damage the connector for the fuel rail pressure sensor so replaced the sensor.

The issue now is that the vehicle won't start. It cranks for a few seconds, starts for a moment and then cuts out after about 3 seconds. I have noticed that the rubber hoses I added to replace the return lines were rock hard and seemingly under pressure. I didn't think they would be at much pressure at all.

There's nothing showing up on my cheapo OBD tool.

Any ideas? Be nice to try something myself before getting it over to a garage.

Cheers

Can't help with your won't start problem, but I do want to say, be very careful what hose you have used for the return pipes. There have been a number of fires caused by leaking or damaged return lines, especially after they have been fiddled with. I'd advise getting the real thing.

Try bleeding the fuel by turning the ignition on for 30 seconds then off
Repeat 3 times.

There a tyre like valve at the back of engine. Press the
Valve down to expel any air

I would not risk the rubber hose and fit the OEM return pipe..
