Hi Trevor,
Thanks for your reply.... It isn't the fuel pump (although I did replace the fuse as it had 30A not 20A??? as stated in Haynes Manual.... can hear the pump when turn key.
Checked the filter too.... don't think it is that either as the seal between the two parts (Top & housing) appears good... not loose, appears to be a good tight fit.
I guess it must something up the front end then... any ideas??? Battery on charge now as had drained a bit.
Cheers
Maurice
