Just had the same problem with my series 2, bridge the "Fuel Pump Relay" and turn on the ignition, If the pump buzzes then its not your fuel pump but more likely your Fuel Pump Relay". (wouldn't go driving about with it bridged though) Relays are about £30 from Ford - ive seen some on ebay go for over £50 though!!!!!

try changing the relay mate, most likely that, i believe they normally go when the fuel pump is on the way out

just remove the relay power it up and see if it clicks, if it is the relay and the cause was the pump being on its way out it will soon happen again though
