Default fuel cut-off

i hav just recently bought a s2 turbo, i had a few small problems but nothing major...

then the fuel pump died. i changed all the conections on the wires and it ran again, i put it down to shite ford 'OE' equipment.

but for the last 2 weeks mostly when getting her out the garage in the morning but recently whilst driving the fuel pump cuts out (?) and the needle on the fuel gauge drops of the clock and it wont re-start this is becoming very annoyinbg when driving cos its bastard heavy to push...

anyway ha ha ha

there is a feckin mass of speed-bumps sprouting upp allover the place where im from and the only thing i can think of is the car is lowered 60mm and i really hav to crawl over the bumps sometimes hitting the deck on the bumps and i was thinkin there is a cut off switch in the back end for the fuel pump.... so av been told could it be this?


after about 10/20 mins of general wiggling of wires and kicking of the fuel pump it works,

is the fuel pump on its way out
or is it the float in the tank.. because when it first did it the fuel gauge didnt move. and now it does

and now it just wont prime on start up-or dies while driving

ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED PEOPLE AS THIS IS KILLIN ME, AND I NEED TO FIND OUT WHAT'S WRONG cos if its a big job i dnt wana get ripped !!!
