Firstly I'd go about testing the basics at the pump. Unplug it and test for a ground. If you have this, then see if you get a feed. With the ignition on you should see about 13.5V from a healthy battery.
If you have both of these present, then I would be looking at taking the pump out as it may be siezed.
If you don't have feed to it, check the fuse first. If the fuse is ok then have a check on the shock sensor. I'm not 100% on a vaux engine, but on lots of cars there is a button, usually under the bonnet that once senses a sudden jolt cuts the power to the fuel pump in case you are in a crash.
If this is tripped, push it in to reset. If it isn't, or doesn't have one then find out how a vauxhall deals with this situation. It isn't really adviseable to just prod wires from the battery into a fuel pump without protection. if they spark, or should I say, when they spark, you will get a nice explosion from petrol vapours and you'll die. the connection at the pump should always be made first, then using a fused supply, connect it to the battery. if the pump powers up, you will need to take a feed from the ignition, to a relay and the one from the battery into the relay and out to the pump. this is a very rudeamentary way of doing it and obviously, the other routes should yeald some success before you need to resort to doing that.
Hope this helps, as this is the route of fault finding I'd go down. :)

because ive tryied to connect a power cable to test it directly from the battery straight to the Thick red/blue fuel pump power feed wire and it dont work any reason for this?
NOTE-my friend made it work once before but cant get hold of him to help me out again.
