could be a separate issue, but I'd not be worrying about that yet, just get the bugger going then worry 

gsf do em for cheap:
18389           FUEL PUMP-IN TANK           G2 16V 2/86 >10/91           21.50


fingers crossed that'll sort it, but you may need to get a new main pump
keep an eye on ebay, they come up now & again for cheap. Get a bosch one if you can!

Right, removed in tank pump and tested across 12v and it worked fine, then teste power to it, no feed at all to it. When i switch on ignition one bit of fuel pumps through then pumping stops even when cranking over no more fuel is pumped out of tank, checked fuel pump fuse and seems fine but it must be a power issue. Any ideas around wiring or what could be stopping power come through?

Right definatly not power or pumps, pumps r working and power is fine, metering head is next bit to elimnate, question for someone on here, when the engine is started normally and u release the key off starter it dies instantly, when holding it on starter it will run for about 5 secs then die, but for this five sec's no fuel comes out the top of the metring head on the pipes that go to the injectors should i see petrol coming out?

so is the fuel pump running while the engine is cranking or not? becasue it should!
