Thread: Fuel pump is it gone?

Hey Everyone,

Having some troubles with my 1999 td5 discovery same as Rory in previous thread basically idling like it has a lumpy cam and lacking power when accelerating coasts along ok but put your foot down feels like someone's left the choke on. Have replaced the injector harness and cleaned and check everything there including 3 thread repairs on the rocker cover (yay ) still same deal was about to order a fuel pump and injector washers for good measure but now not so sure if it's injector issues and I haven't got a nano com and don't want to just throw money and hope for the best. So is there a way to test the fuel pump ? It used to make a whirring sound with the ignition on not to loud but load enough you could hear it in the car. However it isn't making that sound anymore

Thanks guys

Thanks everyone,
It was the fuel pump still the original in there 17 years old and 305000 km not a bad run. Threw a Lucas pump in see how it holds up bought the britpart tool to undo the retainer ring wouldn't have been able to undo it without it as it was tight as.
