Car Forum / Land Rover Cars / October 2004Defender fuel pump problems
Hi Just wondering if anyone knows anything about the fuel pump in the petrol tank on a defender (2000 model, td5, 130). Its making very strange high pitched noises. I think its on the way out, and have been quoted $1450 (Aussie dollars) for a new one. Can they be salvaged/fixed? Or is there an alternative external or after market one? Any comments/ thoughts appreciated. cam > Just wondering if anyone knows anything about the fuel pump in the petrol > tank on a defender (2000 model, td5, 130).

LR said it is normal ..... 3 years and 100 000 km later ...still singing and still running. Believe only LR pump fits ;-) Hi Cam, I've replaced mine with a pre-pump(in-tank pump)from an old 240/260 Volvo and they fit direct. Go to your nearest Swedish Wreckers and they have used ones by the dozens at the fraction of the price.

The diesel in-tank pump is a rather novel thing in that it pumps in two stages with fuel travelling to the engine during the first stage and returning to the in-tank pump to be pressurised to a higher level for the second stage. It does sound like a sophisticated/expensive piece of kit. As an aside, I don't like the TD5, considering it a clever but ultimately cheaply built and expensive to repair engine system by any standards. Huw I stand corrected. I only read 'petrol tank', which Cam might mean 'fuel tank'and didn't read it was for a Td5.
