Short term, keep the tank filled above 1/4 to 1/8 of a tank, or park on a slope (nose down or favouring the off side seems to be the preferred orientation).
If you replace the pump, the tank needs to be below the two access points - the lowest is near side, both access points located under the rear seat. Plenty of information on the forum on replacing the pump.
Yeah I read most of the topics on it while I was flapping around!

I tend to fill up around 1/4 anyway as I have a long commute and if I set off on 1/4 it would be very very low by the time I got back and I hate going to fuel stations later then 6am...

Definitely something to keep an eye on though and I will probably diagnose it properly in the next few months.

Thanks again for your help, this forum really is quite good!
