the system/pump should prime the fuel rail when you first try to start it...

you can access the pump wiring under the rear seat - easy to check for a "live" feed when cranking/ignition on

Had a look today lifted the seat and checkd getting a 12v feed so its geting power tryed to power it manualy with a power probe and nothing.is this a common fault as the part is £220.

been a few on here fail - do a search...

have you tried the tested "smack the tank hard" fix? to see if it starts working?

haha yeah had a look threw the search and saw a few have gone but didnt seem commoun to just go straight for it.yeah tryed the good old "wack the pump" test still nothing it didnet even work with a direct feed for another battery so i have orderd a new pump at the cost of 220.
