Saab 9-3 Diesel Injection Pump - kendo19

I have a 2000 reg Saab 93 and have had problems getting it to start since exact date the mass air flow sensor was replaced a couple of months ago. Last week it wouldn't start at all and I am now told it needs a new diesel injection pump which is pretty costly at £1250!!!

Does anyone know if these two things are linked or is just purely coincidence? Changing mass air flow sensor did make huge difference in terms of power mind you.

Also, what are chances of picking up second hand injection pump if anyone knows?

What evidence do they offer for this diagnosis? Have they systematically eliminated other, less costly, causes? I find that this tdiclub.com/TDIFAQ/TDiFAQ-8.html#b2 is a good reminder of the issues that could cause difficulty, esp the point about air in the system after maintenance!
