    fuel pump gone for a ****,? off the top of my head think there £90 from german n sweedish, when mine went if u put your finger over the return pipe(rail side) building up the pressure in the rail it should try n run, (you need two people to do this) only thing i can think of at the mo that would be fuel related bar the obviouse fuel filter blockage

      the pump may still work a little bit, hence blocking the return pipe, another give away, listen for the pump trying to prime when the ignition is turned on, pump is submerged in the tank in the boot by the way

              Running out of fuel might have pumped all the crap in an old filter into the car, might need to clean sparkplugs
