When our 855 did this it was the camshaft position sensor. Can't remeber if it gave a fault code or not. Cheers, Chris

thanks guys like i said NO Fault codes came on when i did all the differant checks!!! so i guess that counts out cam pos sensor? and crank sensor? (just something a guy at work just suggested) anyway of checking my fuel pump relay? would the fuel pump or fuel pump relay throw up a fault code?

Depends which part of the relay gives up. Take it apart, and resolder all the joints (you may see 1 or more dry ones).

tonight it started fine and ran for about 2 mins then cut out....i felt the ignition coil and it was cold so its not that overheating turned off ignition then it restarted fine and cut out about 10 secs later turned off ignition then back on and started and ran untill the cooling fan cut in so waited for it the fan to stop then turned it off !?!?!?! EVERY time i turn on the ignition i can here the fuel pumg wurring for about 2-3 sec's then it clicks off...so fuel pump is working!? there was no electrical "burning" smell or anything like that under the bonnet!
