Replacement of a Td5 fuel pump.

I haven't done fuel pump (myself) for a long while, and can't remember every step.
But nephew did recently on his 7seater.
He didn't remove side panels.
Only time we removed his seats was to try to fit up an old platform box I had for my TD5, he wanted it to go on a trip.

But he changing his fuel pump(a few times), one time he came up to me just to fit a new sealing ring. His interior was intact.
So carpet can be slid under the side panels. Maybe not end up perfect, and maybe 'not so easy' compared to having rear trim out, but I'm sure it's doable that way too.

I've removed the side covers a few times only on the TD5, primarily to shut down the squeaks and rattles.
They can be a bit of a pain to remove/refit.

He must have a stubborn streak. I got my carpet out, with some swearing and struggle, but I couldn't get it back in. Not a chance. Obviously worth a try though.

Squeaks and rattles? I just take my hearing aids out. Pretty sure the original owner ticked the S&R box on the options list.

Arthur, John or anyone else able to post the Rave instructions on how to remove the third row seats, please? D2Dave is going to send me some photos, but he's tied up with work at the moment.

I’ll look, but IIRC they just unbolt from the wall once they are folded out. Been a while.

All I can find so far. Not sure if it helps.

Yes but the spring tension has to be arrested.

Thanks John, that's exactly what I need, between those instructions and the photos Dave texted me, I think I can sort it.

Glad I'm still good for something.

When we removed nephews jump seats, we definitely didn't use any spring retainers(like in the PDF). There was some little trick to it, but I really don't remember .. just took a few minutes to work it out.

sorry memory is getting older, not fresher! ... cup holders IIRC, just pull up/out and gives room to work.

I removed mine, but I didn't put 'em back. Some other AULROian got 'em. Dunno how he got on, but I don't recall any doubtful moments. Only problem for me will be if I ever sell the thing, because VicRoads, bless their hearts, require engineering to turn a 7 seater into a five. When I reregistered it I got away with it as it had already been in my name and didn't need to be inspected by them, just needed a RWC. But if I try to transfer it....
