Cut off switch is in the boot (well it is on saffs) but you wouldnt hear it buzz/prime at all if its tripped?
Can you hear it prime when you turn the ignition on?

I didn't think the 3 door had the trip in the boot ?.
It will only really prime first thing in the day, as it is temp/time related.
On sapphies the pump relay is up above passengers feet behind the glovebox, with a fuse attached to it, there are several there, but the pump supply one is defo there.
If suddenly gone more likely to be a bad connection rather than the pump itself, hopefully anyway as it's cheaper, when you can find it!!
Good luck

I can only assume then that 3 door looms have the relays in a different place to sapphys, as they are nowhere near the ecu, they are on a metal bracket that also holds the rear of the lower dash behind glovebox, certainly on the last four looms I have just done.

Ah yes forgot about they repositioned the ecu on 4wd, that would be the reason for my confusion then!!, still the 4wd look a lot easier to get to without lying on nyopur back upside down with your head stuffed under the dash!!
