Looked around an the pump in the tank is a common problem if the vehicle has more than 100k on the clock, cost around £80

Post by: onslow on November 06, 2009, 21:12:44: easy way to check the pump is remove the outlet pipe from the filter and wind the engine over,if its ok it will gush from filter housing in not check fuse and swap relay,also check heater plug light is lit these lumps will not start at all from cold with out them if light is out its usually the relay
