After everything you've said it would appear to be a pump problem.

Are you sure the pump is the correct one for the engine?
Check the part numbers on the id plate.

If your sure that the timing is spot on, and the fuel system is ok it points to a trip to a lucas dealer as your next move.

If they plug into the system with their diagnostic tool, they can watch the advance and the fueling in real time.

The old Laser 2000 tool they had was more powerful than the software Ford dealers had on FDS2000 and WDS

the model number of the pump was 8720B050A the pump i got was one didgit diffrent 8720A050 checked with the dealer he said it would be ok

well its finaly going it was the injector pump got a replacement pump the second one set the timing tournd it over cracked one injector started first time the only other thing now is one of the wheel bearings is screaming its head off are they the same set up as a car inner and outer bearings and does anyone know are they a pain to do and what costs thanks lads

They are easy enough to do, depends on if its front or rear though, the rears are one complete race. You either need a press or a bloody big hammer and something the same size as the outer race to beat it out with, sometimes you can get away with a drift but sometimes they wont move unless you can get even pressure all the way round.
