Remove the pipe to the filter from the tank,pull fuel up using a pump or suck hard, remove filter pipe to fuel pump, repeat,this fills the filter with fuel. The older models sometimes had a primer on top of the filter housing, turn to unlock then pump till the filter is full. In the centre of the injector pipes 0n the high pressure head is a triangular nut loosen this and crank the engine till you see fuel, cover with a rag so it doesn't squirt everywhere if it fires. If not crack the injector pipes at the injector ends and cover again, it can make a mess of the cabin if it fires, nip em up as you see fuel at each it should then go.
Make sure you have good fuel level in as the gauges are not the most accurate, jacking up the rear may help with the above as the tanks are long and thin but not over deep.

The easiest way is to remove the banjo bolt and feed pipe from the top of the pump, fill the pump with fuel ,start the engine , keep the pump full ,switch off then reconnect everything .


Good Luck.
