V8S-Petrol pump

[simba]

After sitting in the garage for a few days, my car wont start. When I turn on the ignition , the usual 3 second noise from the petrol pump cannot be heard and no fuel is being delivered to the engine. Other than an obviously knackered fuel pump, is there anything else worth checking out before going to this expence? Any ideas lads? Thanks.

Thanks lads,is it a Ford pump fitted to the V8S? I would have thought a Land or Range Rover unit? However, Im going to have to strip it down and test the pump off the car. The V8S pump is situated above the rear axle and there is an inertia switch on the front bulkhead which seams ok. Eric Benn.

Well lads, guess what was wrong, would you Goddam believe it? Loose spade connector on the underside of the Inertia unit fitted to the bulkhead.Cars,eh??
