Was hoping to hear that you had sorted it, only ever had crank sensor problems with the 2.2 , very frustrating hope you get this sorted.

Crank sensor was changed in March 2013, 30000 miles ago.

easy to fit another then, it will have been re-routed.

The pressure regulator is just a spring in a can.
The pump is an electric motor combined with a gizmo, and it has run all the time the engine has for the last ?? years.


With that in mind, which is more likely to present intermittent faults?

Point taken. I thought |I had a spare saloon pump but not an estate pump. In fact I have two. The pumps look the same, but the fuel gauge senders have different float arms. I guess one is saloon and one estate. Are the pumps the same?

Gentlemen, we have cracked it! My thanks to all for help. Here's how it ended.
Last Saturday I changed the fuel pump. I had a spare, in fact I had two, as saloon and estate pumps are the same, the only difference seems to be in the fuel gauge senders.
As soon as I had the boot floor plate off I guessed the trouble, for the hoses from the pump top plate were secured by Jubilee clips, not the usual special clips. Beneath the top plate the pressure hose from the pump was again secured by jubilee clips. Clearly the pump had been changed previously.

My spare pump came with a special hose clip at the pump end, and I found one spare spring hose clip for the output pipe.

For the pipes to the engine I had to use jubilee clips, but I can easily change these if the fault recurs.
