Thanks for all the responses but frustratingly it turned out to be the
pump.
The mechanic at Mann & Woodland (Hove, E. Sussex) told me how to check
the injectors which weren't getting fuel. It was then a process of
working backwards down the system which led to the pump.
Which ran but didn't pump fuel.
The filter appeared to be under pressure on initial checks and coupled
with the sound of the running pump when I bridged the relay led me to
believe all was well in that department. I discovered with a replacement
pump just how under pressure the fuel delivered was...
£30 for a s/h pump and a bit of head scratching. Respect to Mann &
Woodland for their advice and putting me on to another Saab specialist,
Hawkleys (Southwick, Sussex), when they didn't have a used pump.
