Have you seen the price of the fuel pump? all to often garages are quick to diagnose this as the problem.

Have seen this....

Change your filter and fit the orange clip on a preventive basis. At least bring the orange clip and tools with you in the car if it suddenly FFS suddenly appears.

I did this. Experienced a FFS after driving around with the FOC in the glove compartment for 4 months......: http://www.the75andztclub.co.uk/foru...ad.php?t=95303

Not current price no, but circa £45 got to be.
I replaced mine as my idle felt lumpy and it didnt have a foc fitted at that time.filter was dirty but overall didnt really have a dramatic improvement on the symptoms.

It happened to me in very early ownership of my present car..Left me baffled until I read through a few pages on this forum and the problem was solved.
