Just put a new oil filter, oil and a feul filter on to a 1.7d corsa b the same way as ive always done but this time the car just keeps stalling after i start it. Once its started it go's for about 30sec till as long as its getting some revs then it just cuts back and stalls. To even get it started i need to turn the engine over a number of times then fire it up, then its if the fuel just runs out after 30sec. Any idea what I could of done wrong? Car has just under a 1/4 tank diesel left.

will be air in the fuel lines, remove filter and top up with diesel, there sud be a bleed ontop of the filter housing, slacken it and crank the engine for a few seconds, tighten back up and try start it up again

took the filter off and it had diesel in it so i put it back on with the diesel still in it, tried the bleed screw on top as well but cars still the same, idles fine but as soon as u press the accelerator the revs die off and it stalls. could it be a dodgy filter?

Try blowing through it , see if air comes out other end.
Yep could be dodgy or the wrong type

still not got the thing going, turned the engine over with the nut holding the fuel in line off to see if any feul was coming through and theres not even a drip getting through? could this still be an airlock or have i messed sumthin else up by changing the filter?
edit: theres deffinetly feul in it, put 20 litres in just to make sure
