Just a note for any members needing to change their pump and
a) Haven't done a search to find this precious info
&
b) Don't want to go the route of hacking up their P38 under the back seat.
Removal of the tank is an absolute doddle, the big plate underneath is is all that holds it up, 15 mins of a job, the bastard is the fuel pipes out of the top of the sender/pump assembly.
Best advice I can give is undo the fuel pipes about 1/2 way down the car, 1 is a join and the other goes to the fuel filter. All going well, you might be able to get these off without causing damage to the fuel pipes.
If you leave the pipes connected when you undo the tank, they will probably split on the sender assembly leading to needing new pipes and a sender assembly as the pipes that rot aren't serviceable/replaceable.
Another P38 gem I discovered at my cost today :doh:
