just to put a spanner in the works, returning from holiday in wales we lost all power (no horrible noises or bangs etc) and just made it to the hard shoulder. RAC turned up and checked over the motor and showed me on his computer thing fault code for the in tank fuel pump dead, got back by rac relay, bought a pump off ebay had it fitted,lots of money as tank has to be completely removed to do the job only to find out the flaming cam belt was shredded as well, so it cost about £400 to find out i had a write off. 3k to replace car with a newer gv 2.8. lesson learn't. but yes there is a pump in the tank.
