Starting fault, e46 320d (150bhp)
Hi Mark, you could have failing Temperature switch, TPS, for the fuel pump to go bad it would just go dead and not wake up. So I would rule out the pump cause the car drive well once it starts, right…

BMW e36 323i coupe, running problem
Have you tried driving the car with a fuel pressure gauge connected, cause it sound like fuel restriction, which can be caused by clogged fuel filter or bad FPR.

- Hi NIgel, I cant see any oil in the radiator, only the yellow gunge around the filler cap area. The coolant needed nearly 1 litre topping up today. My yellow oil warning light comes on sometimes after a trip, once i have stopped the car. It came on today again , but the oil level is ok on the dip stick.
