I was very surprised that someone still had them. I'm not surprised that the seller could not fulfill the order. Another member tried and tried a few years back. Sucks because there is no way of getting one new. I just don't know why there are no aftermarket options for late VS, when VR are readily available.

I think I may have narrowed my problem down to fuel pump atm.....but not 100% yet

Have you changed the filter yet?

nope, have the rear up on ramps....going to do the filter first and see if any success

I went to de-pressurise the fuel system prior to playing with it, and it has no pressure...runs (just), but if I try to start it with fuel pump fuse out it won't even fire

if it runs, I might take it to mates garage and get pump done anyhow....to be sure, to be sure

Regular unleaded blocks up filter after a few years. Take it off and try blowing through it. If it's blocked force compressed air through it and watch the sludge ooze out.

just replaced it....car still runs like a pig, and no fuel pressure

I think it is either the pump, or fuel pressure reg.....if it is the reg it might be easier to replace rail/injectors/reg with VT onwards gear
