Fuel Pump Fix
Alright, here's the shot. I have a 1999 Discovery SD that I need to replace the fuel pump on. I've found some on eBay for a reasonable price that I need to choose from. So a few questions:
1) is there certain specs I'm looking for?
2) where is the fuel pump located? is it in tank? can i just remove my rear seats and get to it from inside the truck. or lower the whole tank down?
I'm not a huge mechanic so maybe someone has the best idea as to do this whole process.
3)any help tips, ideas, as far as what i need to do for this job would be appreciated!

Is it a Disco 1 or 2? Disco 1 pump is $100 from Rovers NorthLAND ROVER PARTS - FUEL PUMP/SENDING UNIT RANGE ROVER & DISCOVERY

and D2 w/out secondary air $380 LAND ROVER PARTS - PUMP - FUEL TANK UNIT DISCOVERY II
You access it from the cargo area under the carpet. Do a search and you will find many pictures of the install.

Might want to download that RAVE service manual, it shows tests, and how to do the job. You might not need a pump, could be a $15 fuel filter blocked up. You can rent or loaner a fuel test gauge from a parts store, it will screw right onto the valve on the fuel injector rail, should build up and show 32-36 PSI when key is turned to running position. Have rag ready for any fuel squirt spill.

Late '97 model year the advanced evap loss system was introduced, this bumps the price of the fuel pump alittle.
