What was a nice year for a wife who likes reliability and what is a good year for me, a guy who loves classics?
Gotta have a VERY reliable Air Conditioner.

The fuel pump is underneath the car towards the rear. It should buzz (rather than click) when you turn the ignition on. This information relates to the 8v though - the 16v's electrics are more complex so may behave differently.
Are you taking the 16v to America with you?
I am in England and looking to buy a 16v; I also have the time/facilities to trace a problem like the one you're having (well, I say that now... but on a 16v who ever has enough time?
).
So if you want to get shot of it I'd be interested..
Pop into the diesel forum on this board for more diesel chat & knowledge than you could ever hope for
LINK. To me the rule seems to be - the older it is, the longer it will last and less will go wrong, but the worse it will handle and the slower it will be (especially diesels!!).
good luck
