Fuel Pump Issues
This problem is on a friends 406, not mine. The car has got bad diesel through it and the fuel pumps packed in, so is it a big job in changing it on a hdi and what electrical challenges lie ahead.

Re: Fuel Pump Issues
The high pressure pump is dead? or the fuel tank one?
Tank pump is easy, HP is slightly less easy, but still a 2 spanner job imho.
Time the engine up, take the belt off, swap the pump over, NEW belt back on (may as well think about water pump and rollers while you're there), take the timing pins out, turn the engine over by hand twice, put the pins back in (to be sure the timing is right) pins out, job jobbed.
