Google says possibly fuel pressure regulator but I'm still betting on the pump - can you hear it run when you turn the the "ignition" on?

You ca do it yourself in half an hour, if the locking ring comes undone without a battle. If it doesn't, you've lost nowt trying.

Ah, I was thinking the car was dead after having to be recovered by the rac, they usually are if the lift pump goes, but if the car's actually running I don't think it's that after all. Back to the fuel pressure regulator?
