Thank you

there is a how to on here somewhere giving you the measurements of where to cut the carpet and boot floor.
 
If you have the seven-seater, remove the seat trims in the boot floor and cut between the top or the bottom of the cut-outs, that will give you a flap to lift and get at the access plate. Don't cut both ends, just the one is enough.

Do u mean where the seat fastens down on the floor? How much space is there between the floor and the tank?
 
Yes where the 3rd seats lock into the floor, if you have 3rd row seats.
I have just been out and took a few pictures of mine for you :)
Measurements where 55.5cm from the inside of the black trim, as show in the picture. And it's 38cm from each side of the car. :) image.jpg

I don't see why you need to cut the carpet, I did ours without resorting to the Stanley knife, and I know another chap who has too.

You do need to remove the carpet trim just inside the rear door, one of the boot mounted seats and the rigid plastic panel behind though.
 
Think it's the difference between an hours job and a 3 hour job, doing it the correct way as per rave.

cutting the carpet properly is making the job that much easier and quicker,plus it will be hidden anyway.
 
Ok thank you folks, will try and get carpet up and if not will get the knife out, thanks
 
Job done, managed to get carpet up and get it changed, had a bit of difficulty getting the new pump in and to sit right but got there. Thank you
 
It help, when fitting a new pump, to position the rubber seal on the lip of the fuel tank first, then install the pum, then the locking ring.....

After much swearing, I rang a friend for advice and the pump & locking ring were fitted in minutes after that!! :doh: :D

Yes I discovered that, could have done with a 3rd hand....got there in the end although I'm not convinced the fuel gauge is working correctly 😥
