If you get that then reconnect the pipe and pull the electrical plug off the top of the fuel filter and see if the car then starts. That is the LP fuel pressure sensor.

Hi Martin.
As above by Mike but with photo of said electrical plug to remove.

Fuel line to put into bottle and make sure the flow is good without spluttering, if spluttering them UBP is not great.

Another thing to take into account is the HPFP regulator O-rings they can fail, easy fix at low cost of about £5.22p

Thanks, luckily a friend was passing who is a mechanic, and with a few tests, he confirmed its the in-tank fuel pump theres nothing coming up from the tank, so i will order a new pump, has anyone got a idiots guide as to how you change the pump over, once its out of the tank.

To avoid any confusion or doubt, this is what I said in post no. 9.

A bit of an update, Someone local to me made me an offer for the car as it stands, not as much as i expected, but I accepted, my new car, an MG F is being delivered on Friday, So thank you everyone for your help, its been much appreciated, I'm going to stay with the club, if i'm allowed to, but i'm still part of the rover/ MG scene, for those who might have an interest, its the 1.8 vvc and has done only 74000 It's going to be weird seeing my 75, being driven by someone else.

Hi Martin,

Sorry that I obviously missed this post, nearly a week ago.

Sorry also that you've decided to part with your 75, but you've certainly had a run of bad luck with it.

Do stay in touch, as you've said, and an MG F will always be welcome at the SE meets.

Cheers

Mike
