pull the wire of the proximity sensor above driver door.

forgot to say change fuel filter also.2 or 3 procedures should expell air, you are looking for a quieter running pump if everything else is ok.

the pipe nearest to wheel at back of fuel filter housing,should be colour coded white.pull pipe of union,carefully unscrew union,replace with part no.WJN500110,refit fuel pipe,switch on ignition,press accelerator 5 times or untill engine management light flashes on dash,repeat this procedure...

Followed Shifty1962's instructions to cut access panel on rear floor of my TD5 90. Job done and cover plate in place. Fuel pump now easily accessible. Did not touch the fuel pump but used service kit for the air bleed valve on the filter housing. No more noisy fuel pump! Thanks for...

Thanks Shifty,You are a man amoungst men,i am enlightened.

Is it practical to cut a tidy panel on rear floor to access the fuel pump instead of dropping the fuel tank, 2004 90 defender.

thanks for reply shifty. will look into it. any other ideas?

The pump has done less than 5000 miles since being replaced, genuine Land Rover part. It has suddenly started making high piched whine and goes all the time. No sign of any leakage at pressure regulator and no apparant fuel injector seal problems. Any ideas?
