The pump has a faulty ESOS (Electronic Switch Off Solenoid) which needs replacing.

If its a manual... stall it when you turn the ignition key off. This fools the ECU in to thinking the ESOS is working correctly and it will not be in limp home next time you start. But you should replace the seals within the solenoid. Its a fiddly job, but can be done in situ. The seals should cost less than £20.

There is only 1 code reader which is guaranteed to read the mk4/5 td engines correctly (other than ford FDS - the forerunner to the current software ford has). This is a Lucas Lazer 2000. Several others do work, but they are old so most garages won't have them anymore!

Hope that helps?
