That sounds like the engine needs to turn to me before it works thanks for clarifying
The pump is also energised when the glow plug light is on and/or when the starter motor is operating.

It's not knowing more than you it's about helping others as I have already said mine ( in tank diesel pump)only works when engine is turning over or running it might have a fault as in it should work in position 2 but appart from that it works in every other way supplying the engine with fuel when needed.so when telling some one that his pump should work supplying fuel in position 2 and like mine it does not he is going to think the in tank pump is shot knackerd needs replacing when in fact why take the tank out spend lots of money when infact he might just have to turn the ignition to position 3 crank start it and hey presto there is fuel comming out need I say more
I did not see your advise on testing pump with pin no 5 on previous post only what it should do not what if it didn't
Thanks but not everybody has rave or is used to fixing cars like the god of p38 you are ps can addy brother -in- laws too as his is the same
Not trying to add fuel to the fire but related query:
Wouldn't the addition of the 'Hot Start Fix' which turns the Glows on regardless of Engine Temp also cause the Fuel Pump to run in position 2 even though engine is hot (standard config is not to run pump until engine turning over when engine hot)??
I think data tag basically had it the first time around by saying check for air remove filter get some one to turn engine over and check for fuel. trouble is I have always thought the pump is just there to pump take the effort of the fip when tank is low hot cold or freezing As well as making it easy to self bleed as there is no hand pump like most cars the fip when supplied with fuel and tank full has the power of its own suction and that of witch has the temperature sensor built in the fip (that's why rr's have two sensors) and this is what controls the amount of fuel to your engine that's why when hot rr's don't start the temp sensor is not working thus your fip cannot
Supplie the right amount of fuel not the in tank pump thus needing a hot start fix witch wil override the fip and allow the right fuel amount and is the cheapest option
So my grammer is not the best , says the private school boy who never experienced life and has only text book phrases
I always thought that Range Rovers hate starting when hot due to stretch in the FIP timing chain not allowing enough fueling advance to permit easy starting.I think data tag basically had it the first time around by saying check for air remove filter get some one to turn engine over and check for fuel. trouble is I have always thought the pump is just there to pump take the effort of the fip when tank is low hot cold or freezing As well as making it easy to self bleed as there is no hand pump like most cars the fip when supplied with fuel and tank full has the power of its own suction and that of witch has the temperature sensor built in the fip (that's why rr's have two sensors) and this is what controls the amount of fuel to your engine that's why when hot rr's don't start the temp sensor is not working thus your fip cannot

Test/change the in tank pump.A bit off but polsta how did you get it fixed?
Sames issues here, have also been told that it's a problem with the inline pump as the problem occurs when the tank is about a quarter. Was thinking that if it would be orings and filters and such the problems would occur permanently and not temporarily.
Thanks!

A weak ITP will also hamper start performance.
