Any ideas ???? also anyway to test the pump ???

It's probably needing bled. There is a small valve (like a tyre valve) on the fuel rail under the inlet manifold. Take the cap off and push the pin in to purge the air. This is the same point where you can connect a gauge to check the pressure which would be the next thing to do if this doesn't work. Good pressure is somewhere around 40-50psi.

I've just had a new pump fitted to mine after the old one packed in because some crap got past the filter.

Cheers for your help guys i have tried to bleed the valve but pushed pin fully in and there is no air pressure coming out is this normal ?

oh yer also cant here the pump wining when ignition turned on i have checked the inline fuse and wiring all looks ok

[daddysumo]

do you have the wiring mod ?
If so check the original fuse in the block above the ECU which is now the trigger for the relay,or if you have a multimeter check the 2 feeds to the relay base
