Knackered fuel pump or blocked inlet in the tank? I take it you've tried bleeding the injector pump and bled all the fuel lines (been doing this myself today!)

Maybe hole /split in fuel pipe letting air in so the pump can't suck it up.

i have ruled out sucking in air, i have had 2' of pipe off injector straight into a gallon can, the pump and injector pipes have been fully bled so it looks *beep* pump off at the weekend unless someone knows something i'm doing wrong. thanks for help

That would explain the air then Laughing

Well done and that's one to file away for future ref 8)
