<< < (2/3) > >>

jay2578:
is the pump whirring loudly? or not at all? i`ve had the same problems lately, i need a new pump so gonna replace the filter at the same time. were you low on diesel? have you had the pump out for inspection? its easy to remove and check so it might be an idea to check it hasnt got a clogged filter. let me know if you need guiding through it but it might be a good starting point

Was thinking of checking the filter on my pump.  Am I right in thinking that the easiest way to do this is to cut a hole in the rear carpet to gain access?

extreme90:
just cut a hole in the carpet and remove the access panel, clean off the reccess in the tank then unscrew the metal collar holding the pump in
be carefull undoing the fuel lines they break very easily.

what kind of noise is the pump making ?
disco's are prone to pipes waring through over the top of the chassis and letting air in.
any obvious leaks ?
any leaks around the regulator on the block....is the engine a 10p with internal rail or 15p with external ?

well i didnt cut a hole, just take the plastic surrounds from the dickie seat catches(4xscrews) and pull up the carpet as its only tucked under the plastic trim. as extreme90 says, clean around the hand nut, disconnect pipes(pliers may be handy) and pull off the connecter block, undo the handwheel and the pump will probably spring up, then remove, being careful of the fuel level sender arm. then just reverse the process to refit making sure the big rubber washer on the pump gets fitted in properly, or the handwheel wont tighten.

ok so my problem was that there was a tiny hole in the fuel filter and was causing an airlock!! new filter on now and runnin, now got a leak from one of the pipes attached to the filter now tho so that needs sorted!
