Hi
My Disco 2 TD5 has recently started cutting out or getting a really lumpy tick over that clears with revs. Happens just a couple of times a week. I suspected the fuel pump as when the fault occurs I cannot hear the fuel pump running and it’s normally quite noisy (Bearmach pump less than 12 months old) I’ve discovered that if I switch the ignition on and off about six times the pump usually kicks in. When the problem is happening I try to get the pump to self purge using the technique of 5 presses of the accelerator with ingnition on but that still doesn’t get the pump running. I have tonight changed the pump for a known good one but still it doesn’t always run when I switch on or self purge.
My question is should I hear the pump running every time I turn on? It used to.
Could the fault be with the pump relay.
Cheers Steve
