well finally found it, under the boot carpet, anyway it turned out thatthe fuel pump was working fine, just the coil had gone!, not bad tho probally been on since new! funny thing is i was changing the plugs then it came to me that it could be not sparking so did the usual plug onto metal and it wasnt giving anything off at all, £45 problem solved!
