Freelander 1.8 Kalahari 2003 petrol cuts out 1 or 2 seconds after starting. Not if I'm covered for AA home start.
Anyone experienced this kind problem before?
It is labour intensive for a mechanic to fix?
No, you could do it yourself. No special tools needed. 13mm spanner / socket to disconnect battery, cross head screw driver, large flat bladed screw driver, hammer & a supply of rags, bucket / container to place old pump into.
#1 disconnect battery
#2 tilt rear right seat forward
#3 remove / move carpet out of the way
#4 remove the four cross head screws and lift cover off
#5 disconnect the electrical wires from pump.
#6 wipe / dust the pump area to ensure debris doesn't get into fuel tank. - have some rags on hand to soak up any split fuel and a container to place the pump into [ it will have some fuel still in it.
#7 disconnect the fuel line - squeeze tabs and pull
#8 using a large flat blade screw driver and a light hammer tap the locking ring anticlockwise and remove - put to one side
#9 prise up the pump - it will be stiff - that seal gets a good grip!
#10 fit new seal to tank opening
#11 insert new pump
...
It's now running perfectly with the new battery.
