Hi Derek Welcome to the Forum

My first though is somewhere the return line is blocked/restricted, I don't have a diesel but even the petrol models have a fuel return with a fuel return valve. Worth checking if yours has a fuel return valve and if it's working? Also check the fuel filler cap is correct for the car 

Let us know what they find

yes i have had the car a year no blockages 

biggest problem is that when it blows off it throws up 

same faults down to low fuel pressure 

next step is to have injectors tested 

thanks for the input

If the pipe is blowing off something is causing excess pressure, either a fault in the high pressure pump a blocked or damaged pipe or a connection is damaged. It doesn't make sense to just refit the pipe if it keeps blowing off?? I would at a minimum be changing the return pipe blocked/faulty injectors would have been causing all sorts of other issues.
