well its been confirmed the HPFP it is.
I took it to TRS and they checked it. they also found metal filings in the fuel tank from the pump which could have damaged the injectors if i had driven it around. i have read on here of people driving around for months with the faulty pump be careful i guess.
what sort of prices have others paid for their HPFP replacements?
for moneys sake I'm thinking of going for a low km 2nd one .
You are aware that there is normally a filter between the pump & the fuel rail unless it has been removed & not replaced, but to do that it would need the fuel line to be bridged out in it's place?Quote:

2017 by PCB Independent Land Rover Specialists here in Adelaide - PCB Independent Landrover Specialists - Servicing, Repairs, Modifications & Spare Parts
Interestingly the lead-up was the same as yours, with a cascade of messages culminating in 'Gearbox fault ' and restricted performance.
The fault codes were the same as yours and it was diagnosed low fuel rail pressure.
After testing the LPFP it was considered that it was running within specifications and not replaced. The replacement of the HPFP and belts was a one day job (albeit being at the back of the motor it's a pain)
- HPFP - $2142
- Timing belt kit - $195
- labour (6.5 hours) - $926
Total - $3263
33,000 km later (now 160,000km) it's been trouble free, and no issues with the Low Pressure Fuel Pump.
Good luck

While the pump was within specs I do wonder whether it was really a semi-restricted Fuel Filter. [bighmmm]Quote:

Just sayin'.
You're right, in our case we think the issue was precipitated by a load of dirty fuel picked up along the Great Central Road, with the fuel filter subsequently changed (we cut it open and it was clogged with gunk) and tank drained in Alice Springs. That process didn't fix the cascading fault issues and in our case it was only resolved with the changing of the HPFP, having checked the flow rates through the LPFP.Quote:
