Vauxhall Vectra lack of fuel pressure/ cutting out and wont start

Car: Vauxhall Vectra
Variant: 1.9 cdti 150 design
Model Year: 2005
Categories: Running Rough, Starting & Power Loss
I bought the car 12 months ago and in the first month the eml came on and put the car into limp mode turned the engine of restarded it the eml went out everything fine. I took it to the dealer as it was under warranty he said it was the fuel rod which he replaced. A short time after this the same problem occured took it back, this time he replaced the fuel injectors, after a week or so the same fault, took it back he then replaced the fuel lifter pump. After this still had the same fault, then he replaced the high pressure fuel pump, still the same fault came up this time he replaced a diesel return valve in the engine. Still came up with the same fault and also with another fault, the heater/aircon stopped working, so he replaced a circuit board in the fuse box. After I picked the back up had it for 4 days when it cut out and wouldnt start up due to no diesel going through the engine, had to get recovered as this fault would let you go so far then cut out again very intermitently. Took it back he has replaced a fuel relay in the boot told me it was ok went to collect the car got 500 yards down the road the car cut out again had to wait around 10 mins before it would start again, it also feels like it is coughing when you drive it. Took the car back he is now looking at the electrical side to it. I have suggested it could be a faulty ecu. Has anyone got any ideas as to what it could be or as anyone had the same problems.
Sorry its long winded.

sorry to hear all the hassle you have had with the car sounds like you have replaced all the things it could have been i think i read that you have replaced the pump its self as this is the problem with the diesels mostly but donttake it away until you are completely satisfied with the car
