AA mechanic didn't get her going and she was towed home.
Any ideas where to start? Fuel pump? Fuses?
Thanks in advance.

Remove the fuel pipe going into the filter and blow down it back into the fuel tank, you should be able to do it with your mouth and hear bubbles in the fuel tank, refit the fuel pipe and give it a try….

Unless someone has fitted an aftermarket electric fuel pump….
To test the mechanical fuel pump you will need to un bolt it from the engine block and remove the fuel lines, move the lever on the back up and down and hold your thumb over the outlet, you should feel some pressure from the pump. You can then attach the inlet fuel line and pump the fuel fuel pump to see if petrol will come out of the outlet but be careful of petrol spraying out so have a rag to hand.
If unsure what's fitted to your engine post up a picture then we can see what's there.
