Help car not starting

Hi, my first thread so apologies if nothing is clear lol

I have a 59 plate Seat Leon FR TDI 2.0 (170)
My sister started it up and drove for about 5 minutes before the orange coil light started flashing. She pulled to the side and turned the car off in hope that the light would disappear when she started the car again. As you can guess the car wouldn't start. RAC came out and he fiddled with the low pressure fuel pipe and got it started. Got it to the garage and they changed the pump but the car is still not starting. We did manage to get the car to turn over using easystart for all of 2 seconds then off again.

Was told it could be the high pressure fuel pump or the injectors. I got all 4 injectors tested and they all passed with flying colours. Mechanic doesn't think it's the fuel pump.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. (Btw battery and alternator are fine)

The orange coil light flashing is a glow plug fault. I would check those for continuity and supply voltage, but it should also generate a fault code.
