It's not rare at all, yours is only the second case i've ever seen where it was actually the lift pump at fault E_Kel. As said before, there's a myth that's been around for years that all fuel problems on these engines are caused by the lift pump dying, but it's complete nonsense.
Ok, definitely the fpr you cleaned out then. Wasn't being picky, just one's called the fprv and the other is the frps, so they're quite easily confused lol. I don't think the lines could be blocked, you can check by disconnecting the feed line at the engine bay end and sticking it into a bottle (at least a litre capacity, these things kick out a surprising amount in a short time), then turning the ignition on. It should fill the bottle pretty rapidly if there's no obstruction to flow.
