Hi wrapt one, had same problem with my 300tdi I replaced fuel lines,lift pump,fuel filter and still had same problem, turns out my new lift pump was faulty ( genuine landrover part). Hope this helps

took out inline filter ( and discovered it was for petrol as it had a little hole in the bottom:o:o)i now have one pipe from tank sender to lift pump with no filters or clear plastic pipe. and it works perfect:D she now purrs like a kitten and goes like a train:crazy_driver::amen:. thanks for...

I have checked everything. Seems when I leave fuel filler cap off it runs ok. I removed fuel tank vent and dismantled and cleaned it there was loads of crap in there I thought it was a rubber seal lol. Will it make a difference leaving fuel filler cap off. The mrs said won't the fuel evaporate...
