So this morning I accell reasonably hard whilst doing a right hand turn and BEEP! EL Power - ECU "Take ya car to a Garage" (not quite like that) and the engine was off and all I could do was coast to a graceful stop with no power steering.. 
After a few mins and some cranking she fires back up and is fine the rest of the way to work and has been fine on a blast around test at lunchtime.
I'm 90% certain this is a fuel pressure issue and that going by the black air filter with 5 years of dead insects in it that I removed, that the fuel filter is in a similar way.
Long story short.. the fuel canister looks like it has a lid/top that simply unscrews or do I unbolt the whole thing and unscrew the bottom part instead? anything else I should check? (Injector leak off pipes seem ok but may change them anyway).
