I'm located in salford north Manchester looking for advise or recomemnedatiobs on someone to help get my car back on the road please

Fuel wise used Super unleaded.
When you say towed were all the wheels off the ground?
Can you hear the fuel pump prime before you start the engine?

Can you hear the fuel pump prime, if so it probably isn't that.

Do you have an immobiliser on it

 

Good advice above.

 

It appeared to be working as in the motor was spinning. But the pump was out of the tank so not sure it was picking up fuel. Need to put voltage direct to the pump then see if it was getting to engine side. If so it's as I thought no power to the pump maybe because of the immobiliser xxx
Well there was definitely no fuel to the engine, which is either pump or no electric on wiring. Voltage was less than 12v should be at least 13v. Simple test is to take voltage direct from battery to pump if fuel then pumping wiring fault. Xx
thats what my brothers said about it
and towed as in pulled by a rope by his car all wheels on the ground
I’ve boyght a new fuel pump but struggling to find someone to come out to fit it

Yes it has an immobiliser on it but all the electrics are firing up fine on the dash and they don’t if immobilisers on

What about a youtube search on how to fit they are normally very easy to fit

 

You can gain access to the fuel pump through the boot, lift the boot carpet and youll see 2 covers that are bolted down, its the cover on the drivers side that covers the fuel pump

 

there is a guide in the link below.

Somebody with a similar problem in the past said there is a 'connector' somewhere under the drivers seat which had a bad connection
