Discovery I Fuel Pump Removal / Fix
#91
Nah, just leave it. I thought you where posting a response to mr4x4's pressure sensor issue so I owe you an apology. I can tell you from experience there's no difference between the non AEL and AEL pump motor wise and you confirmed it right, so let the post stand for those who don't know.

Yeah I researched it for a good while and I never found the answer. I bit the bullet today and tore into my fuel pump and yeah it was a direct replacement minus the fuel hose. I was truly amazed to find my OEM strainer looking like swiss cheese!
I just wanted to replace it since I just bought my D1 a month ago with 120K on it I didn't want to take it out with the family and get stuck on the side of the road. No need to apologize no harm no foul
Rover on!

Yeah I've gone over it pretty good. Expansion tank is the newer style, alternator, waterpump was replaced just before I bought it. Guy only took it to the local LR dealership so it was well taken care of. I just had the typical 17 year old Rover stuff to tweak. I am going to order new oil cooler lines as one is seeping and I do not want it all to go up in flames. I put a 2inch TF lift on it and the OEM springs/shocks were so badly worn it actually raised it 4inches from when I bought it.
Transfercase fluid was spotless as was the rear diff fluid so it was changed recently as well. Only big oil leak was from a seeping oil pressure switch. After that no serious leaks to report. Runs and drives well for 17 years old. I will need a new driver side cat (rattles), but thats about it.
Thanks for the tips, and I'm happy to have another LR in my garage! I love D2 door seals vs D1/RRC door seals! Hardly any wind noise now. D2 Starter is on my list of spare parts.

Probably not. They were most likely hosted on Photobucket or similar and have since been deleted. I think LRF tried to "backup" all the remotely hosted pics and put them on their server at one point but people went apesh*t and it never happened.

My only advice would be to make sure that large o-ring is in place first before fully dropping down the fuel pump. That sealing ring wont seal unless the o-ring is put in correctly.
