Hi,
Hope someone can give me a few pointers.
I have a 2000 TD5 and I think the fuel pump is dead. (Being a sort of intelligent bloke,I noticed that there is no fuel getting to the engine).
I am from South Africa and the cost of Landy spares are VERY high. The cost of a new pump here is 5000,00 Rand. Now I know if you convert to Pounds or $ that's not to bad but here it is.
A few of the chaps around here convinced me that an inline pump that pushes out the required 4kpa would push/pull the fuel thru the old pump no problem, and would be a cheaper alternative. (Not to mention easier, as you have to drop the tank to change the pump)
Great. With gusto I hacked out a part of the fuel line, put in the new pump, and got .. NOTHING!!..
I have put the new pump inline on the HP side to the engine, and all it does is spurt small amounts.
