He won't bother with the Jag once he's got a new motorbike to nip down to Barnsley on  ;D
he's probably knobbled the Corsa so Mrs Opti can't follow him  :P

Very helpful man from the RAC has been and tells me the crank sensor is fine. :y

He removed the rear seat and there was a lot of banging for twenty minutes or so before he declared.....it's 100% your fuel pump that is the problem.

Easy fix apparently. Ten minute job.

Right then how much for a new/ or used fuel pump? :y

I can't be assed to look, but how many times during this thread has the fuel pump been mentioned?  ::)  :P  ;D

Did you get him to look at the mower as well? ???  :)

Usually, the tricky part is loosening the retaining ring.

Thanks Dave.

Presumably all I need is the metal pump which is hidden beneath all the plastic crap.

if you opt for just the pump you will need to take apart the swirl pot assembly to swap the pump, this will need some fuel line clips/clamps to be replaced and you run the risk of damaging things during this process .
a used /working complete one may be easier for someone of "limited skill"  :-X Not that i'm pointing fingers  ;D :D
