Vauxhall zafira 1.9 diesel - fuel not getting to engine on start up - Drummer

Put car in garage for heater plugs relay. When I got it out after leaving it sitting for about an hour, started car and about 5 seconds later it died had to turn engine for about 2 mins before it started. Put back into garage they put one way flow fuel filters next to injectors. Got it out after lying cold for an hour it wouldn't start at all. AA boy told me I needed my injectors overhauled garage then tells me it is my fuel pump. Can anyone shed some light on this.

The most likely cause is air in the fuel system, did the fit a new fuel filter? Try the effect of pumping the primer until it goes hard, if it starts then you have an air leak.
