starting fault?

i had this problem with my 311cdi, it got harder and harder to start - came into effect on about 80 000 miles, a friend of mine had the same problem with a 313 at about 75 000, it turned out to be some sort of problem with the seals in the fuel pump, when i actually got it to start it was if there was no problem at all.

on the back of fuel rail is a rubber sealing washer. cost about 67p from merc.the seal stops fuel running back to tank.
