Astravan fuel pump relay Any ideas of where?????

Does anyone happen to know where the fuel pump relay is on a 1996 1.7D Astravan.

dont think there is a relay for the fuel pump on a diesel

Dont look like there is, we pulled every relay and it still run. The bloody thing keeps starving of fuel.

Check kinks in fuel lines, change filter and investigate the shut off valve (front middle on Vaux engine, somewhere at the back on Isuzu engine).

fuel cutoff on the isuzu is a pig to get at,you need to get under the car and remove the alloy casing under the fuel pump,the fuel pump edu is bolted to this casing,then you need to remove the sponge sound proofing thats around the pump,fuel cutoff can then be seen under the pump,also google the fuel pump edu because these are very common fault with astras,there is a company on ebay that recons these edu's,best bet would be to get the codes read,that will tell you if the fuel pump edu is at fault,another common fault with the isuzu engine is the main ecu that bolts on top of the engine,the pins on the ecu where the harness plugs into corrode and snap.

cheers guys will have a look, i know it aint the original engine, i beleive it should have the Isuzu turbo lump in it but it has a standard Vaux lump in it with the turbo hoses tied up. Bloody cowboys should be shot.
