Could be your fuel pump has had it, did you run it low on fuel?? also check the wire under the fuel pump maybe corrosion causing it to cut out. ?

Sorry dude but if the fuel pump is making a buzzing whining nose for more than a few sec after turning the key, then it maybe something very silly. how much fuel is in the car, dont go by the fuel gauge, there never right!lol If not look under the steering wheel behind the dash and you should find a pink relay change this.


When you say it when bang on the first day, how did it go bang?

Start by having a decent amount of fuel in it, and change the fuel filter just for good measure.
It sounds as though there is more than 1 problem tbh.
