I'm off to japan in a few hours but when back on the 21st Feb if not too late will find out what part they used as seems easy peasy to install

I have never seen a D1 fuel pump in person but I had success in fixing my cousin's 2003 V6 Rodeo fuel pump. I had a thread in Chit Chat about it. Basically it couldn't keep the pressure up and then stopped pumping at all. So I pulled it out and stripped it down which was a bit of an effort since it was never meant to come apart. I even stripped down the electric motor itself. Once I had done that I couldn't see why it wouldn't run. The brushes were a little worn but nothing that would stop it. So I reassembled the motor enough to run it and it ran fine. So after a bit more testing I reassembled the pump and fitted it and the car runs fine to this day. That was only about 1 month ago but it would have done a few thousand kms since then.

His had 100000kms on it and Holden said that was a good run for that particular pump. Which is pretty dodgy considering it was an $800 genuine only part.
I considered using a much cheaper inline pump but it didn't come to that.

So the moral of the story is if it is indeed buggered then you have nothing to lose by stripping the pump down.

What is a D1 V8 pump worth new anyway? Aftermarket available?

the pumps are just a silver bullet bosche unit,,
but LR cant supply them anymore,,


dont think I payed that much for mine,,
but it was a few years ago now,,

AULRO 2,,?? maybe

simple enough to replace---
the electrics are a leap of faith,,

The guts of a holden bosch pump will fit with some minor adjustments.
