Thanks Paul. If there's no fuel delivery then it's not safe to assume that the pump has failed. You might like to give the garage a helping hand by passing on these diagnostic tests:
  1. Lift the rear seat and turn on the ignition. Does the pump run for 2 seconds? NO: follow vitesse's advice to check that 12v is reaching the pump terminals. If it isn't, substitute fuel pump relay. YES: proceed to next test.
  2. Crank the engine whilst listening for continuous pump operation (or use a meter to check for 12v at terminals). YES: check that fuel filter canister is tight but do not separate it. If it can be tightened do so and fit orange/white clip to prevent recurrence. NO: check crankshaft position sensor and wiring.

The camshaft position sensor has been ruled out as that affects only ignition, not fuel delivery. The above will determine where the problem lies.

Let us know how you get on Paul.

Simon
