Hi. I've got a Fiat multijet for my sins and just tried to start it up. It starts ok but then just cuts out after about 2 seconds. Tried 3 times and same thing happens. It's a diesel. Any ideas?

Certainly sounds like fuel pump. They can stall sometimes. Sometimes a good whack gets them going again. If not it's a new one.

Is there fuel in it? Has this problem just happened or has it been about lately?

Probably. However the main question remains as to why and how air has got in. It may solve it now but it will reappear.

Garage job I think.

It could just be a airlock or air getting in the fuel line or fuel shut off valve is not opening
