Better half is losing faith in our much loved 98 fender as her daily driver after I had her push start it in her heels, stockings and little black dress when picking it up from the mechanics. It was on a hill and she insisted she could do it. Dead lift pump combined with gummed up sedimenter lead to a trip to the mechanic on a tilt bed. Lift pump all fixed but sadly an old intermittant electrical problem choose that moment to re-emerge resulting in a flat battery. So its off to the sparkie tomorrow for its second time.
Only good part is I get the last word after her nagging me to take it to the professionals after my several failed attemps to fix the electrical gremlin.

Stop using cheap fuel,clean the water trap out every couple of months,new filters and you won't have a drama.It is amazing how reliable vehicles are when you service them. Pat

Fender is serviced as per schedule by LR specialist mostly and only buy fuel from BP unless no other option. Often have looked a sedimenter after sevices though and seen no signs it had been touched so it was always nagging at me as a job to do myself.
Sagga continued as wife picks up car from sparkie today ... new alternater fitted so all good and hopefull electrical gremlins now solved. But she went for a drive to charge the battery as the sparkie recommended and the car stopped again!!! On the truck to the mechanic it went ...where diagnosis was out of fuel.....Fuel gauge was low but well within our normal driving limits. Fueled up and away it went after lot a difficulty bleeding. Fuel added not definitive on whether tank empy or not as just over 70 litres added. So now I have doubts about cause. Faulty gauge due to electrical problem perhaps, was it really the fuel lift pump, sedimenter or something else. Air leak, split intake hose who knows. Guess wife just drives it till it stops again and then we test the wifes faith some more.... but then again maybe an excuse to order a new fender
