Fuel rail is clean, lines look ok too, doesnt seem to be any fuel coming up the lines at all not even to the filter, i hear the pump spinning though when i turn the engine over

Are the fuel lines round the right way? Disconnect them and see if the fuel is coming through and out these, you should be able to analyse a bit better

And try a new pump

yes, the 1.4 SRi engine was a MPI, so you will need to change the pump

Tried my 1.2 pump and it worked fine so must have been a dodgy pump
