Fuel pump problem?

[Neil]

Why did he fit a solenoid,what was wrong with the old one?
It sounds more like its wired up wrong if you have to short it out to start the engine.
I haven't a clue what the brown thing with a check pattern is maybe its Sherlock Holmes hat.Why can't you ask your mechanic what it is,or doesn't he know?
Is his name Wardy?.
