2011 1.5dci Euro 5.

A couple of times now (and twice today) the car has started, and within about 30 seconds, juddered to a halt.

After 3 or 4 rounds of cranking for 5 seconds, she'll start up when no further problems.

This has happened on a couple of odd times in the past, and before I knew it would eventually start, I checked the fault code that appeared and it was for fuel rail low pressure (can't remember the exact code).

Anyone else had this happen to them? It might not be causative, but it has been hot today, and it was hot the last time this happened.

It's almost like the non return valve on the primer bulb assembly is knackered...
