It appears the fuel filter is inside the fuel pump which is inside the fuel tank.

just a thought but couldnt you just remove the existing pump and buy a generic in line pump?? Save youself $$$

If you use an external after market pump, wouldn't you then need to set up a pressure regulator and fuel return line of some sort? I would be trying to find a wrecker or someone who may be able to lend you a second hand sensor to try, so at least you can rule it out as a problem and if it fixes it just pay em for it. I dont know if four wheel drives in Blackburn I think can help you, they may be able to point you in the right direction.

Hi all,Thanks for all your help, problem finally solved & repaired after 14 days.
My dad used to say, when you take short cuts, it comes back to bite you in the bum -that's exactly what it did.
Problem ended up as a blocked fuel filter, which is attached at the bottom of the pump in all D2 petrol cars, rather than spend $620, I got good advice here not to use a VN pump, and my son, who's middle name should be Macguyver thought "do a bypass on the filter and put in an inline fuel filter"
Great idea I thought (thinking of $580 saving)
we did that and then had a bad fuel leak between engine and firewall, couldn't see it or get to it, and I was about to pay a mechanic to pull the gear of the top of the motor to access, then the leak stopped ?? there's a pressure switch that they put in to stop this very thing, so I had to spend the $620, waited 5 days for it to arrive, installation in 6 mins, all went well, except the pressure blew the inline filter off. New fuel line this morning.
Thanks for all your help, just remember what my Dad used to say !!

Richard,

Your Dad was spot on.
I have been down the "bodgie" track before that has resulted in a snow ball effect and cost more than a simple genuine replacement :D

It just is not worth it!
Pleased it all worked out for you, knowledge is power :D

Cheers

how can i tell if it's a camshaft sensor - is there a shortcut without using the computer. I live in the middle of nowhere, 130kms from the nearest land rover specialist

you need to make a led light a single low voltage led with a resistor in series and put that across the crank angle sensor then very slowly turn the motor over it should blink on and off if ti doesnt or it blinks erratically then the CAS is shot.
