Re: Eastbourne help needed
Sam, maybe you can give a bit more detail about the engine/set up in case
a/ you can pick up some pointers remotely
b/ so that if there's anyone relatively close that they would have an idea whether they can help with 'that' type of engine/management etc

I'm in Eastbourne and willing to try and help 
I am not an expert on silver tops or Mondeo management, but might see something you've missed.
Have sent a pm with my phone number.

Re: Eastbourne help needed
Right guys have isolated it down to the fuel pump. I have tested the pump itself and run it directly off the battery and its working fine. So i have a wiring issue. I have tested the feeds and i have my fuel level showing correctly but i have no power to prime the pump when ignition is engaged. How would someone recomend finding the issue does it sound like a relay or something else? Having trouble to trace the wires if im honest.

Re: Eastbourne help needed
I agree with Tony, check if you have an inertia cut out switch. Mine's at the back of the car between the fuel tank and the fibreglass body but it could be anywhere I guess. It looks like a relay, usually with a rubber case, you won't know it's a switch until you press it and hopefully hear a click. And check the fuses too if you haven't already.
