Relay and fuse plus the fuse box itself could be faulty. Check to see if you have power at the pump connector.

Do you think the car would run if the fuel lines where the wrong way around at the in tank pump ? As the pumps running but I'm getting no fuel still up to the filter housing but someones been messing before

Think you need to upload to YouTube or similar and then post the sharing link.

I do not know for sure if it would run If the pipes are crossed, but if they are, you should get flow out of the leak off pipe union on the FIP.
Bacterial growth in diesel can be a problem, with the pipes disconnected, it might be worth giving them a blow through with an air line.

They where the wrong way around but I've swapped them around and still the car has no power I'm close to the end with it now

Now you have swapped the pipes over, have you checked for flow at the filter?
Because the pump motor runs out of the tank, it does not mean it will run when immersed in diesel.

It really does need diagnostics.
