I believe the pump is coded to the car, so although you could DIY change it, you would still need it hooked up to Tech2 diagnostic equipment (or similar) for it to be married up to your car.

it depends on which engine that you have fitted, post the engine code and i will try to help, engine code should be something like y17dt

Are you sure it's not the pump ECU? How was the fault diagnosed, and is the fault presented by an engine management light or total failure?

Sounds like the failure I had - any running or starting problems beforehand?

The fault needs to be properly diagnosed. If what you say is true, you're looking at the difference between £1000 for a new pump and £300 for a reconditioned fuel pump ECU unit. There's no point guessing which it is.
