I'd start the diagnostics yourself from the very beginning, back to basics. The amount of aa and Rac who drop cars to our workshop telling us "it's defo this" and "it's defo that", 9 times out of 10 it's something else, not there fault as such as they've only got a limited time to look at it. Never believe what someone else says it is untill u can vouch for it yourself. (Just advice if your mechanically minded, useless advice to
Someone who isn't)

The pumps are easy to change matey. I would be changing the fuel filter first.

they crank, they just didn't fire on ours

but it would be a different matter if it's been run on petrol and has contaminated the fuel system, it cost us Ł3k both times this happened, and free the one time we caught it in time and then things went belly up 4 months down the line
