As a matter of interest is the accessory belt changed at this time also? I’ve never seen the scheduled maintenance of this item discussed.

I've said that more than once. Even my wife told me to "burn the sodding thing to the ground". If it wasn't so damn superb to drive when it actually runs, I'd have torched it by now.

No had a service also, transfer case oil replaced, and the plastic T radiator part replaced for a alloy one.

TRS in adelaide did the belts, and extra pulleys ect people normally do while doing the timing belts

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?

Hi Warrzone
We had the HPFP replaced, along with the timing belt/pump drive belts in at the end of Sept
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
Craig

and it was diagnosed low fuel rail pressure

While the pump was within specs I do wonder whether it was really a semi-restricted Fuel Filter.


Just sayin'.
