Following day they rang to say it wasn't ready as they fitted a new pump and it still wouldn't start. They then diagnosed a fault regulator which they changed, and low and behold it started first time.
Thet when proceeded to dismantle the old pump and regulator to discover that they where (as the mechanic put it) "Full of gunge"
Anyway car is back with neighbour and starts on the button everytime.
We've come to the conclusion that the gunge is as a result of the car not being started for 6 months during a very cold spell and the fuel has "waxed up" the pump and requlator.

There is also a microfilter in the HP pump fuel inlet and this has been known to cause all sorts of performance related problems when it gets clogged.
