Hi guys. I had a crank no start situation. Pulled the code about the fuel pump circuit being opened. I am not a mechanic but I pulled the relay and replaced, but it happened again.

Any idea how to replace the fuel pump on her? I see some vids/manuals for older rovers, but nothing on this actual model.. (5.0 HSE, Full side rover).

I may give it a stab my self if there is anyone out there that confirm it's not too difficult to do.

Is it under the rear seat carpet? Are there access holes like I saw on some older models????

 

You are correct it is under the rear seat, there are access holes. The tank is a "saddle" style design that has components on each side. It can be tricky to install the new parts and get them seated properly. It also requires being up to your armpit in the tank, working by feel (and deep beneath the surface of whatever fuel is left in the tank).

It's doable, but potentially frustrating.

Really?! The pump doesn't sit on top of the tank to pull ? So what exactly would I be feeling for armpit deep in gas ?
