update for those who have helped and those who might be following it.
Got under the bonnet today with a multimeter, and with ignition on i was only getting 0.1v at both solenoids. The bodging f***** who fitted the pump just soldered all the wires together in one big lump and stuck tape over them :|
So I found a red wire which switched on with ignition was going up to about 10.8v, and the solenoid wouldnt click open? So routed a wire straight from the battery live terminal and you can distinctly hear it 'click' open.
Found all this very odd and interesting all the same. So now we've got a manual switch for the solenoids tucked in the steering rake adjustment bit in the cab :mrgreen:
And also the fuel still seems to almost empty the inline fuel pump when the cars running, which all i can think of is what someone above said previously, that theres a seal gone in the pump and its not holding the fuel up, and allowing air to drop back in the pipe.
