Surely if it still runs with fuel solenoid disconnected the solenoid HAS to be faulty

That proves that the solenoid is currently faulty. Sometimes you can bring them back to life - take out the solenoid and give it a good clean and reinstalled.
Without connecting power to the solenoid the engine should turn over but NOT start - if it does start, you need a new solenoid.

Relatively straightforward but maybe fiddly , to quote JM -
" to change a solenoid you need a 15/16 or 24mm open ended spannner with jaws ground down thin to get enough room to undo it "
its sort of like a oil pressure sensor , a glorified bolt screwed into a hole , on the injector pump

Screw out the old one, screw in the new - takes 30 secs.

I was hoping Ratty would explain - you dont need a new solenoid,you just need to take it out and dismantle the plunger and spring out of it.Clean it and put it back together.
It will then be fine until a bit more swarf jams it up.All signs that the pump is shot....

Give the man a break , solenoids have been known to fail on their own ....granted in this situation its often as you say ....but it might not be

always best to try the cheapest and easiest solutions first,rather than expecting the worst

I have to be honest I don't know what the percentage of buggered solenoids is compared to those that just need cleaning. When I go out to em at the side of the road and tell em what the score is it's very rare that I see em again after to get the follow up. I just advise em that they're swarfed up and why.

Sorry to try to dump it on you Ratty,I've organised and run a trial for the Bath Classic club this W/E - I'm knackered !
I have similar problems,most of the LR's I fix are owned by people I never meet,or even know their name.I just have to diagnose them,and on the odd occassion I even have to fix them....

eliminating it as before when it wouldnt turn off if you wiggled the key in the ignition it would turn off so im guessing the barrell may be warn i dunno,so process of elimination
how ****ed of would ya be if you orderd and waited for a new solenoid then fitted it and no difference to then find out its the ignition switch and have to order and wait for a new one
so to save hassle ive orderd both and if you look at the mess of the wiring in the 1st pic you will understand why im replacing it
