How did you solve it? (incase anyone comes across the same problem again)

i had a similar problem on my mk2 before. The plug that at the lift pump above the petrol tank was burnt so i cut it off and just used block connectors and taped it all up and it worked perfect but i could hear my pump priming and it would fire up and cut out after 5 seconds

the relay that i put in instead of the bad one was also bad so i changed it to a new on and it worked first time, there was nothing wrong with the pump after all! its relay 2 if any one wants to know.
