Default TDCi fuel pump or pulley failure?

Wife's 2002 TDCi Focus broke down recently at 85k miles. AA man said fuel pump, but is there a chance it could be a pulley failure? The reason I ask is that for a few weeks on start-up for a couple of minutes there has been a squeaking noise from what I thought could be auxiliary belt. Also, if it is fuel pump, can anyone give me any advice - scrappy/refurbished/new and where from? Cheers

Turns out it was a split hose - car would only start for a couple of seconds then died. Hose replaced, job done!

cheap fix is always a fair play for not just splashing out on a new pump! what pipe was split?
