It's a long shot, and if the fuse blew, then it's probably the pump, but I had similar issues and it was the socket the fuel pump relay plugs into, the connection had come loose and it had got hot and melted the plastic.
I pulled the socket apart and cleaned and squashed the terminals to get a good connection.....no problems since then (touch wood)
Where in Melb are you?

Exact like fraser was my car...... exact solution....
:) Thanks Fraser130 will have a look soon, have to walk to the shops first.
I don't know if I should tell you where I am :blush: but I guess I should;)
But it has no reflection on us ok:eek:
We live in Werribee, but are not from here.:)
Exactly the same symptons on my Td5 Discovery. Pulled the fuel pump out and found the strainer to be full of gunk. Cleaned it out and re-installed and has never missed a beat since.
If running rough, like on only 4 not 5 cyl I would have a look the filters and possible block line as well. Just wonder if the pump have problems because dirt on it.
Cheers
Just to add, if the pump has stopped pumping/ air has got into the fuel lines, you can get it to purge/prime by stomping on the accelerator pedal half a dozen or so times immediately after switching the ignition on.
It takes about 5-6 times to refill the system before it will start ;)
