Never thought anything was wrong but see Harry's post above.
After all that though, it was indeed the fuel pump, despite no fault codes coming up for fuel pump failure at any stage and records indicating it had been replaced a few years ago with a clip applied by prev owner and Nick having taken it to bits and finding no evident filth or fault last month.
Nick found someone on ebay selling new genuine fuel pumps, at less cost than his usual suppliers who have no stock anyway.
It feels like a different car now

I have another thread on what I assume is the same problem. Do you happen to have the contact details of the chap selling the pumps?
Cheers,

Had some luck tracking down those fuel pumps on eBay. The pump for our car is the same as for the 1.8 Petrol Turbo cars, for proof see the Rimmer Bros links:
V8 - http://www.rimmerbros.co.uk/Item--i-GRID004174
1.8T - http://www.rimmerbros.co.uk/Item--i-GRID001966
The pump part number is WFX000290.
On eBay go to:

It doesn't list the V8, but the rover part number is correct.
I've ordered mine, nearly £100 less than Rimmers, so not too bad.
