Sprayed the pump with leak detector. Think I know where the problem is. Seems to be QA and the head... maybe. For a big engine bay, it is so cramped in here.

It was designed for small saloons rather than the RR. Imagine it shoe-horned into an Omega or Bimmer.

I had a drive in a friend's Jaguar F-pace SVR yesterday. Incredible piece of kit. Floor it and there's a low growl and you're forced back into your armchair as a mad-max whine builds from the front. It feels like you're doing 30 mph but the speedo whips round like a fat-man landing on the kitchen scales.

Yep that sums it exactly, that and the fuel gauge dropping, he has it up for sale really loves it but the consumption to work is killing him ☹️
 
Anyone know if this guy in the centee is supposed to look so chewed up? Looks like someone has gone to town with a screwdriver. Can't be right, can it?

If I came across something looking like that I would assume it's been got at. What fits onto or into it? If that is smooth then I'd say a good candidate for your leak has been found.

It's internal to the FIP so not a source of a leak. I can't think of a reason why it would have been "got at". More likely German engineering quality.

if that’s the level of accuracy required from factory wouldn’t think would hurt to smooth it out with a dremel, Betterer flow perhaps?

Pretty sure all that comes through there is fuel returned from the spilloff pipes. The main fuel supply comes into the main body of the pump below the QA block. I just hope none of the "precise engineering" breaks free as it'd write off my pump.
 
Well I fixed the cut out at idle issue, but now have a rough idle, and more importantly, still seem to be leaking fuel. The sensor at the rear of the pump under the head. I assume that is wet, since it has an oring. They a likely failure point? Because the other option is the head is still leaking and I potentially have an even bigger issue on my hands.

Possibly. Normally it is the top one or the one below that or the oval ones each side where the spring pops out.

If it has done 150k miles on the original pump I'd be tempted to get a refurbed one off Diesel Jones in Manchester and have done with it.
 
Not mine I'm pleased to say but just seen the owner of our local supermarket on the road in his RR Sport, looked like it was on stilts, suspension fault or is it possible to drive at speed at wade height?

Either I am on crack, or I can't find the P38 on their website. The pump is a recon unit from 2017ish. I kinda expected it to last longer than this.
