IT JUST CUT OUT!!
 
Help needed please chaps, cruising slowly through town today & engine just stopped. Noticed straight away the fuel pump wasn't running at all. The pump is a walbro and is less than a year old, all fuses are ok, pump connector under rear seat seems fine too.:brickwall :brickwall Any ideas?

check one of the bigger fuses under the bonnet if you take the cover off there are two green fuses on the left side of the fusebox check them.
one of mine blown stopping the pump work.

or it could also be the fuel pump relay.

Just had a look, both green fuses are fine, so are the other bigger ones. No idea where the relay is tho, any ideas & how do you check em?
Thanks for the quick response too!!

if its a classic the relay is above the fuse box in the car, its hard to get to and is a round metal cylinder, think its the one with the green plug on it?

if you search the net you'll find ow to test them

Ta bud, looking now as we speak, nothing else to do whilst waiting for the AA!!!

i'm sure there is other relays in the same location that are the same try swapping them over and listen for the pump priming

Sorted!!!!!!!!!!!!! Whilst looking for loose earths etc in engine bay, I heard intermittant clicking from under fuse box & fan clicking on & off occasionally, kind of like when you re-set the ecu. So - i tried to re-set the ecu (you never know it might have worked), which it wouldnt let me do! Faulty ecu I thought. When I finally got towed home I took the ecu out & put my spare Z4 in, Bingo!!!!! Starts & drives just fine. :) Strange one eh?
