Default Hitting a brick wall here... what could the problem be?

The car was working fine all day, no problems and had a great drive. I decided to go home to make some tea. After i needed to nip out to the Supermarket, on the way out i went to fire her up and just kept turning over over, wouldnt bump start etc.

I left it for 20mins and tried again and it didnt start up but very nearly did (struggled). So the only thing i could do was get the AA out to tow me home.

So he came and i was guessing it was either the spark plugs or the fuel pump.

The HT leads are new and the plugs were fine.

He seemed to think it was the fuel pump as its not priming up and you cant hear it. He tried a direct live (in case the fuse had gone) from the fuel pump to the battery to see if it was a broken cable but got nothing..... so he said its just the fuel pump thats shot and it just needs replacing.....

so i bought a new one and fitted it as the other was old anyway, and it still didnt prime or start. So i pulled the relay out and it had melted/burnt on the pin 54-15. Heres a pic of the new and old:



put the new one in and still didnt prime or start.... does anyone have any other suggestions?
