Have you looked for an extra fuse (if it's had the pump wiring upgrade) should be near header tank?

Have you check the pump relay - in the bank of 4 near the ECU?

Or try giving the fuel pump relay a wiggle, it's relay number 5 (far right) in the engine bay.

Great isn't it, it's like having mobile mechanics with you. I know that if I ever break down and need help I have the collective knowledge of pistonheads to get me going again. (hopefully that day will never come)
