   when i turn my key i cant hear my fuel pump prime and make the normal whine noise that it should.
   
   Any body got any ideas on what it could be as the car wont start.

   Check the fuse for the fuel pump. It is situated in the engine bay and is fuse No 9 rated at 10A. Also check the fuel cut out switch.
