    I would have used my own initiative if someone would have told me to!

    if thats the case try and find someone who specialises in repairing fuel pumps, they should be able to do it for half the price easily.

    or even try an independant garage who may be able to source a pump cheaper than getting it from renault,and labour might be less too.

    good luck.
