Default Wiring experts! Low voltage @ 2WD saph dash SORTED!!!

Having a long running battle with this saph i have newly acquired, and I need to get to the bottom of it!!!!
Some of you may have seen some other threads i have posted regarding this, but thought i'd start another one with all my findings etc... now i've got to a point where i don't really know what to do next...
So main probs are,

Fuel pump doesn't get power
Batt/Brake/Rpm/Oil lights, and fuel/collant guages on dash don't work, but the dash illumination, indicators and main beam lights work.

I have looked at various alleged wiring diagrams but they don't entirely seem to match what SHOULD be there as there seem to be subtle difference between the 3dr/esco/4x4 saph & RWD saph which i have.

So last night I havd another go at it with a multimeter, first thing i checked was the fuse No.22, this was reading 11.7V with ignition on, so that looked ok.
Then i checked the dash multiplug and here's where the fun starts.

Pin 1-Main Beam -Ok
Pin 2-Tacho/Oil light/Batt/Guages 2.37V
Pin 3-Oil light 2.37V
Pin 4-Indicators - OK
Pin 5-Tacho 9.35V
Pin 6-Temp. Guage 2.37V
Pin 7-Fuel guage 2.37V
Pin 8-Indicators -OK
Pin 9-Brake 0.89V
Pin 10-Batt light 2.37V
Pin 11-Dash illumination -Ok
Pin 12-Dash illumination -Ok

Also i attempted to measure at the fuel pump and it looks like there is only 0.5V there.

From looking at the diagrams i have, it appears that all of these are linked in some way, but the diargams are not entire accurate. So I'm hoping it's a common fault that will atleast fix 99% of this!!
