Hi all,

First post, and first Freelander. 2003 1.8 Kalahari which needs a new fuel pump - common problem, I know. Followed this forum for other information on my 300TDi Defender 110, so feel at home already!

The Freelander has the later fuel pump, which by the book is part number WFX000210. This fits 1.8 for 2003-2006, and 2.5 v6 2001-2006. Would be easiest to just buy one of those new and fit.

However, I have a good offer on a WFX000190, which by the book only fits 2.5 v6 2001-2002. However, since you can also fit the WFX000210 to the 2001-2002 v6, the differences must be very minor - in fact I can't see any at all from photos!

Anyone know the differences? Is there a chance these are interchangeable? Could I fit the WFX000190 to my 2003 1.8 and very likely it will be fine?

Appreciate the conservative approach would be not to and just fit a new original part, but I'd like to get the car back on the road for as little money as possible so interested in a knowledgeable or risk-taker's response!

Thanks,
Steve.


PS Also open to the offer of a good WFX000210 pump for sale at a reasonable price!

I use this site to find out the difference between parts:

Hi Hippo,

Thanks for replying - I've had a look at that site and it seems to only tell me a basic description. It does tell me the newer part is cheaper, though, which is a bit unusual.

Am I looking in the wrong place?

Steve.

oops they int listed all the details on those parts. Like which engine etc. :doh:

Hi All,

I got a hint that apparently the fuel level sender can be different, in that if you fit the wrong one, empty means full! Can't verify this, but maybe something to be prepared for.

In general, although it is of course serviceable in that you can easily remove the filter, disassembly of the rest of the pump looks quite awkward. Shame, as it is only my core motor that has gone, which would be <£30 I'm sure.

Steve.
