Yes, I guessed that could be the case. Any recommendations on a good brand?There are some poor 300 lift pumps out there.
Thanks, I'll try that.Try Delphi, about £25.
Even if it is now sorted and you went for the proper delphi pump I would potentially still buy a second pump to keep on the shelf as a spare. I treat them as more or less a service item as have found they only last between 1-2 years, which sounds bad but the bearmach/britpart ones last me about 4-6 weeks! I know I do high mileage (25-30k) ( have the same issue with uj's) but as it is known failure point and is quick and easy to swap over with the parts to hand it save waiting to source parts, and now you know the symptoms will be easier to identify next time it happens.Sorted. Changed the lift pump to a Delphi and now no problem. She starts easily with low fuel level, even after standing for a week or so.
Previous pump was a piece of unbranded junk!
