Ship's Cat 73

Since we got the boat (Leisure 23) last July that Volvo has always started 1st or 2nd turn until last weekend. It reluctantly started, ran for about a minute then cut out and wouldn't restart.
We're hoping it just needs bled (and both of us aren't very conversant with marine diesel engines) and to do so will require the entire companionway removed. So before we do that we'd like to know what to be looking for as there's virtually nothing but the front of the engine visible right now.
I've inserted a couple of photos of an MD5A -- NOT ours, but photos seen on the internet -- we just hope ours looks the same when revealed.
So, can anyone point out in these photos what we should be looking at?
Thanks in advance.
