I DIY’ed a MDPE pipe from a tap at the house front to back into the garden (buried, about 20 meters length). It did work flawlessly for a few weeks, but doesn’t anymore - possibly air blocked? I did open it where it was connected to the tap, everything seems fine with the pressure. Am running out of ideas now.
 
Take the tap off at the far end, to make sure it isn't that which has failed.
Airlocked? On mains pressure? Doubt it!
Is it a full run of mdpe or is there a joint in it underground?
 
Swap out for a new tap, far more likely than plastic failure
