Thanks for confirming that David. I'm glad I correctly read the diagram.

Checked continuity across fuse 23 and its golden. Getting 12v on the purple line so i'm assuming this is a component [fuel pump] problem not a power/wiring problem. Ordering a new £50 fuel pump off the ebay.

@Notanumber My post is very confusing and could use some more detail: The cars been pumping fuel to the engine. Last month I'd seen it pump fuel into a jug and had the injectors out to check spray pattern. What I didn't have was a fuel pressure gauge which [and this is a theory] would have told me the fuel pump was slowly dying [not providing enough pressure]. I dismissed the pump as an issue cuz I found it hard to believe as pump was only 2 years old BUT I did have a faulty alternator in the summer which caused odd behavior with the lights and radio. Maybe that's caused its death?

Its good to hear from Cobber that a failing fuel pump can cause all sorts of problems. I'd, again, dismissed it as an issue thinking: "its either working or broken as its only a motor". I now guess the commutator could have burned out a bit but not completely causing a slowly dying pump leading to lower and lower fuel pressure .

Anyway, currently the car doesn't start (only cranks with sparks) and that's definitely partly or fully caused by no fuel going from the fuel pump. This post was to establish if its just the fuel pump or it could be multiple things. I'm going with a replacement pump and seeing what happens.

You guys, as always, have been stupid helpful and patient and appreciate that tremendously.
