Thread: V8 Discovery Fuel Pump Prob

Was that a typo or another pump again?

Moi? As if? Typo. Edited now. Dunno where that came from. Freudian slip or something?

I will go by your findings, as you have the good oil, but it does seem a bit confusing with all these internal/ external/ this number/ that number etc.

Maybe REPCO are incorrect & stuffed up the info. I deffo told her internal hence that number.

Ummm what do you mean?
The number you quoted was external.

When I spoke to Ashdowns (which according to Bosch was bought out by REPCO 18 months ago) they couldn't tell me just by the part number if it was internal or external. They didn't have any stock of your pump but didn't even know what my pump was (going from Bosch part numbers).
I got all the info about the pumps from Bosch direct 1300 307 040. Pretty helpful guys.
The retail outlets really new diddly squat.

I saw the pump you quoted at REPCO when I bought the internal pump and it was the same as the picture I posted before. Definately external. Plus Bosch said it was definately external.

I think I am going to have a nervous breakdown.


INTERNAL.

Don't worry tomorrow is Friday

When you are retired, you can choose any day to have one.

It was working OK until this morning when I drove it to a Cafe.
Suddenly would not start.
Checked various parts and found there is no petrol pump noise comming from petrol tank.
Pulled out and re-welled wiring still no go.
Checked relays, it make noise when ignition is on.
It had started by hitting underneath of tank just below where pump sits while my wife starting ignition.
I do not want to hit the tank everytime starting the car.
1. What is wrong with it?
It is easy replacing to new but big $$$.
2. Does anyone have done alternative way of replacing fuel pump or have source of chaper pump?
I can remember someone in the forum was talking about replacing to Commodore one.
Thank you in advance.

I never rang Land Rover to find out the replacement cost of the entire pump assembly. The assembly for a 2003 V6 Rodeo is $800 genuine and it looks near identical.
I'd say Purcell's also just replaced the pump itself. Maybe with the proper replacement pump though that someone mentioned they got from GB for $250 or so.
