Default EFi Fuel pump problem...

Car : Mk2 orion 1.6 efi (standard)

Driving it earlier it kept cutting out randomly. Thought i had no fuel. Managed to limp it to a petrol station.

£10 of fuel later and it now wouldn't start. Had to abandon it.

When flicking the ignition on, there was no 'prime' noise.

Checked fuse,
Checked inertia switch,
Relay (under dash) clicks when i turn the ignition on, and clicks off after two seconds (like it should...)

Am now under the impression its the pump (or the wiring going to the pump)

How do i get at the pump (i'm guessing its in the tank or on the tank).

Step by step guide required for getting at the leads to the pump (to check for voltage)
And removing / replacing the pump if theres power there....

Might sound like a dumb-ass thing, but i've never had to mess with one before...
Anything to be weary of when getting at it?
Need to also get some cheap-ass tools to do the job with as all mine are at work and i aint got no transport to fetch em. So any info on specific tools to get would also be greatly appreciated.
Now got to have a day off work to get this sorted.

Any info much appreciated.
