This post shows how to replace the pump by cutting a hole in the floor rather than removing the tank. It is how I did mine and it is a lot easier than taking the tank out.

As far as the pump is concerned I would go for a landrover one. I bought a britpart one and it lasted 3 months. Got it replaced and I am now watching to see if it packs up again. I will report back to the forum.

Although i would agree that cutting a hole in the floor is alot easier to do, i opted for the dropping of the tank for several reasons,
1. I wanted to check all the fuel lines hiding under the tank,
2. I wanted the tank cleaned out before the new pump was put in to ensure no sludge and dirt was stucked up. (which was found in the tank)
3. Cutting the floor would weaken the floor and allow rusting and water to come in.
4. Cutting the floor......It's MONKEY!!
5. I'm a woman and it will be done my way, and wasn't me getting my hands dirty on this one!!!

Think you will find that unless you get the genuine Land rover pump at £215.48 from a dealer like Rimmers. All the others. Famous 4 £120.00 + Vat. Foundry £81.95. Rimmer aftermarket £59.94. Island 4x4 £41.66 are all the same Britpart type item.

Good for you, a proper mechanic. Not a Roger the bodger.
