Look at the wiring on the two coil packs it is prone to breaking down and cracking.

It may also be worth checking the TPS on the side of the throttle body.

Check the fuel pump relay (R17) in the battery side fusebox. It can overheat & shut off the fuel pump 
It's the big green/violet one

A long shot, but make sure the fuel pump cutoff switch in the boot (the one with the red button) is fully pressed in.

Keith I've got the same problem I have tried changing the fuel filter, needed changing but made no difference, tried a different fuel relay no change but it was second hand, I'll go mad and buy a new one to see if it makes a difference and let you know
