Another thing that's fairly quick and easy to do is check that the power to the pump is switching on when it should. There's a wire from the ECU which becomes live when the ignition is switched on that trips one of the yellow relays under the...

Yes, why not, if you can get it to fit. I've always thought that some sort of threaded adjuster would be better than trying to lever the components apart at the same time as trying to tighten a bolt. Some engines - especially in the US - seem to...

Sounds a little bit like a problem I had around a year ago. The fault was a break in the wire that goes from the inertia switch to the relay under the driver's seat. When the ignition goes on, this sends power via the inertia switch that then...
