I had another thread a short time ago about my fuel pump connector in my 96' Disco having been loose and arcing. I believe I have rigged the connector so that it is working, but I'm wondering how does one know if the fuel pump itself is on the way out? I searched through the threads and it seems some people eluded to the pump going gradually and others saying it just goes and that's it.
I have the carpet and hatch accessible and I can hear the pump- when the connector was bad I would leave the key in accessory and wiggle the electrical connector till I heard the pump- but is there any sign that a pump could be on its' last legs?
I don't want to get stranded again and if the pump is going I would like to order a new one now rather than later. (It will take a few days to get where I'm ordering from).
Any suggestions?
I don't have a fuel pressure guage at the moment - will any standard one do or does LR have a special fitting? And what would I expect to get - pressure wise?
