V70 won't start

'06 V70 diesel won't start.
It was ok last night.
Fuel ok, 100 miles worth
Battery ok...turns over
Curious bit -----> On turning the key, a brief buzz comes from area around the injection rail / ABS pump.
And a message sometimes comes up, saying ABS (actually says anti skid) temporarily disabled.
Any ideas what's wrong?
EDIT...
All is well...
+ 5 litres of fuel did it.
Computer, she tell lies...

Tell you a story about someone who 100% relied on the fuel computer on a V70.
Overseas colleague, who can be a bit of a dick tbh, picked some of us up from airport and we hacked off through the E European countryside. I was in rear behind him, looked over his shoulder and fuel gauge was wrapped round the empty stop. As he was going at 150 leptons and saw no signs of filling up commented on this, he fiddled with computer " Oh no it's got x km left" and carried on. x km wasn't very far in my book but anyway.
He put no fuel in that journey, nor when we went out in the evening, nor the run into local office next morning.
In the afternoon when by now it's all getting a bit tight to get to the airport we all pile in and set off. As he's just about to drive past the garage right by the front gate, someone, probably me I forget who, went " Errr we'll be stopping for fuel so I'll just nip into the shop and get... " at which point the prat scans the computer again "Oh no it's still got y km left" Where y is an even smaller number than x.
At this point the boss chimed in with " Just fill the f******* car!!!!!!"
Back in the office we were discussing this when one of the other lads chimed in with " Yeah he did that to me, late for the flight and we were going along that really long fast straight when it started misfiring, and according to him it couldn't be the fuel as the computer said ... when the engine cutout and we managed to coast over the next brow and just reached a fuel station"

When they get low on fuel, they're quite sensitive to levels (hills).
I can park on my drive and have no warning light on. The next morning I get in the car and the fuel guage barely moves and the "miles left" on the trip computer says 0 miles.
Once I'm on the flat again the light can go off and then it sayd I've got 80 miles left?!

Reading about the anti-skid message flashing up, does remind me of an intermittent problem I used to have with my petrol V50. Every so often, it wouldn't turn over or start...dead as a dodo.
The only thing that seemed to fix it, was locking and unlocking it a couple of times, then locking, letting the deadlocks engage, then waiting another minute or so, then unlocking it (all from the fob) and then it fired up no problem and was fine...odd?!

D5 SE...very nice.
My son's car. Nice cruiser, but you wouldn't test its limit on the twisties.
No problems in six months.
He bought it from www.Autoquake.com. They sell cars out of lease on behalf of the leasing company. If they don't have something in stock, they'll try to find one.
High miles, but immaculate. He paid £10k for an 06 plate on about 50k miles, with a history sheet listing everything done, even tyres.
If you express an interest, they give you an appointment to view in their Birmingham compound and you can drive it round the block. They arrange seven day insurance, finance and extended warranties, but offer no warranty themselves. You can return it within seven days if you don't like it.
