Have you checked the fuel cut off switch in the Passenger foot well, behind the kick panel ? Not sure if it would cause the probelm but worth a look.

Had exactly the same symptoms, turned out to be an internal break in the fuse box, fitted a new one, available from the local dealer.

I had my fuse box repaired mate, they just soldered a link in to bypass the dry joint, apparently its an easy job as long as you know which joint to bypass

Default Fuel pump

Anybody got any more info on this fusebox repair. A diagram of the fusebox would be very helpful.
No power to my pump so thinking I may have the same problem.
