Driving my 928 today and the power suddenly stopped and I coasted to a halt,Tried starting but seemed to be no fuel getting through,called the AA and they reckon as I do that the fuel pump has seized or the other alternative may be the fuel filter or both.
Has anyone fitted or had one fitted and rough idea of cost.

I'd start with the relay in the passenger footwell. You can swap it with one of the others that is the same (I think there are a few the same) to see if it starts? Most 928/944 drivers carry a spare in the glovebox. Come back once you've tried that and we'll see what else there is.thumbup

Any special tooling required or technique required to remove the relays as they seem to be solid?

There is, somewhere on eBay, but you would wait days on that. I would disconnect the battery, in case one shorts and be careful. Mine came out quite easily, rocking it from side to side. They're only about £5. The relay chart is on the underside of the cover. My 1991 was either 25 or 26? Check the horn works, if so use relay 16? I think, to replace it with. Keep us all posted, and you should get it fixed.

I have tried what you suggested ie:removing one of the relay's and swapping with the fuel pump but still it will not start.The engine will eventually run but only for approx 10secs and then dies.It barely reaches 300rpm.I have ordered 2 new relays from Porsche and will try again late tomorrow,failing this I think it will have to go to a specialist within the Glasgow area.
