.did you click on the B&G and Rimmers links in my post? They have aftermarket pumps much cheaper - about £56 and £81 respectively

Thanks cairnsys. I didn't realise I could click on the links. Brilliant! I really am thankful for all the help and support on the site.....

UPDATE......
My new fuel pump arrived from Brown and Gammons today (a week late, but it's here). It was £68, and a perfect replica.
I fitted it and turned the engine over.... Exactly the same symptoms as before.. The battery was going flat so I attached jump leads. I turned it over again and kept cranking..... Just as I was about to beat it with a branch in a Basil Faulty manner she sprung to life! It lives, and what a beautiful sound she makes!
All this checking and checking again and it turned out to be an intermittent fuel pump problem.... Thanks to everyone on the forum for their help.

NEXT JOB...
The clutch appears to be seized as the pedal is on the floor. Any advice?

WELL DONE THAT MAN ! Give yourself a pat on the back , that's great news .

Fantastic to hear youve got your car started.......no need for the matches hey.......and guess what that coach engine i built.......it is now a runner aswell.....3 seperate electrical engineers and experienced fitters scratching there heads with pointers like buy another ecu.........it turned out the electronic injection pump that was reconditioned by a specialist..........turned out to be faulty........

Have you tried lifting the peddle by hand?
Chances are that the lever is sticking.
