My 08 freelander 2.2 broke down Thursday. Will start but as soon as I touch the throttle she cuts out & to restart I have to remove then replace key fob. RAC suggests its the pump. For the past 6mth or so the fuel gauge was zeroing to empty if I went below half a tank & sometimes this would put her into limp mode. I got myself a cheap diagnostic reader & was always able to sort it but not this time. Could it be fuel pump & where is it located? Any help is appreciated, Rob

Doesn’t have one, relies on high pressure fuel pump suction

Just remembered that that my mate drained the fuel from his written off car & gave it to me to put it in my tank, but it looked clean as I checked b4 using it. The fuel was about 4/5 wks old. This was my 1st concern when I broke down. Thanks for your advice, Rob
