Thanks, as far as I can tell (and my limited knowledge), no sound from the fuel pump. Local service chap believes it to be a relay, but hasn't the time at the moment to come out for a look. He has given me a spare relay and suggested where it should be, i.e left hand side under bonnet towards the bulkhead, but no sign on my model. (I took a look at a later model in the garage and it was very obvious). No obvious indication behind the glove compartment either (another option he said). my motor has the Rover 2 litre engine, if that should make a difference.
