P38 Paul Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 Time has come to replace the fuel pump again on the P38 , this will be the forth time I have done this job with the last one only lasting around 15000 miles , can anyone advise me on a brand that may last a bit longer than this aftermarket one that is currently fitted to the car , cheers .

Simon_CSK Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 Paul If you are replacing them that often can I dare to suggest that you fit a genuine Land Rover one? Maybe a second hand one? 15000 miles is an incredibly short time for it to last. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waffle Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 That sounds bonkers. Bearmach run a 3 year warranty with their own brand so maybe that’s a way forward? have you checked the fuel lines to make sure the return line isn’t perished and letting air back into the pump? Not sure if that would make it run dry on occasion? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi , that was a Bearmach pump that I had fitted but it had run out of warranty as it took me around three & a half years to cover the 15000 miles before the pump started to fail again .

Escape Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 I do hope you have made an access hatch under the rear seat, so you don't have to drop the tank again... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Escape Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 No pictures, but I have done this a couple of times now: - cut the insulation and carpet inside the right rear seat mounts at the sides and front and peel it away to expose the floor - grind (carefully) through both high areas closest to the seat mounts, preferably with a small disc so you can't slide through too deep - drill out the spot welds at the front and fold back the floor section - I use screws at the front with kit and tape to cover the cuts when reassembling, double sided tape or carpet adhesive can be used for the trim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He gives the dimensions. I thought about doing it on my 4.6 petrol then I remembered I barbequed a P38 last year draini9ng the fuel tank and opted to take the tank out instead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
