Fuel Pump DIY

Confirmed fuel pump?

I have a tool (home made) for getting the sender cap off if that helps, and some lessons learned if you need them

I think I paid £150ish including P&P for a new pump only.

They had 2 in stock (iv got one )

Listings ended but i think its still available.

I can vouch for both quality & service (mine is running perfect )

Thanks for the link will try them if it comes to it although i see it says 2 sold.

I had the car recovered by a garage and have said to them if they're not up for trying to split the pump unit to get to the pump then drop it back on my drive, now i know what it is. But he said his labour to strip it is going to be cheaper than recovery back to my house.

The 8 is in the sticks, where there are no buses.

If U are going to do the Split yourself give me a heads- up and I'll post
a full " how to " with pics ..... just done mine....
Now I am sitting with a Low Oil Pressure problem and a strange whine from the
motor which could be related...

I've told the mech at the garage i'm happy to do t but i think he wants to break it himself. I suppose thats fair he did find the fault it should be for him to break it first.

But do the how too anyway as it'll be good as a sticky.

It was quite reassuring to see Land Rover’s and tractors around the workshop as they’re 4x4’s as well so they should know what they’re doing.
