DIY Fuel Pump removal Range Rover HSE (2004) and disassemble

[@DannyZabolotny]

As a followup to my previous comment, I bought a 2004 Range Rover HSE with a bad fuel pump for $3000. I did a fuel pressure test, saw the fuel pressure was extremely low, and replaced the fuel pump, using this video as a guide. I didn't have too much trouble with it, and the fuel pump only cost like $150 for a brand new one. A couple hours later I had a perfectly running Range Rover with no check engine lights or anything, awesome!

Could you tell me where you buy your pump because am having same problem now

[@robpoole9388]

@@arifomer182 I bought mine from a local parts store (not a big brand store). You can try to Google the part numbers in the description and see what is available in your local area. I am sure most of the larger retailers would be able to source this for you. Good Luck

Fantastic video helped me out massively. Thank you so much

[@michaelchristofi3213]

Do not try to fix replace the inner pump. This guy has edited out the downfall of replacing the inner pump. Hence not showing the full procedure. The removal of the connecting cables are easy enough, but the main pipe crimped and is not your average jubilee clip the pipe is sealed air tight, so therefore would need either heating up to release with much difficulty or risk splitting the pipe altogether. The pump shown on the video has been adapted for the video, making it look easy. Replacing the whole unit is far less stressful. No need to change the fuel gadge connection supplied - if the problem is just pump failure.

I'm sorry I gotta say your dog is the best thing about your video so stinking cute watching your every move ☺️

[@geraldodolo8718]

Sweet. I was able to replace my fuel pump. $60 for pump plus two hours to switch parts...Thank you.

Great clear guidance regarding removal of the in tank pump unclipping the rude heads are fiddly but patience Is the key make sue you place back very carefully otherwise you will get irregular reading on the dash once it's all bolted back it.. But great practical help thanks..

Thank You, I'll get right on it!

For those who are having problems i just took mine off righ after posting on this post. Its easy. Push down, use a flat head and push up on the orange seal while pulling up. Try it a few times.

Thank you. Doing full complete unit tomorrow, which i got new for......£44 unbelievably. Guess where...ebay of course.

[@derrickmayo1298]

Great video ! Very informative and very easy to follow! Also love the shot of the tools at the end ( what size allen?) This is key to a DIY'er to guage if they can do and if they have the tools needed or if they have to get anything so there are no surprizes once you are knee deep in a fix. Cheers from Nor Call Derrick Mayo If ever in Cali Sacramento area hmu and lets hit some trails up here i know!

[@robpoole9388]

Thanks Derrick. I agree, all tools sizes should be mentioned. Cheers.

[@chevypockets4587]

Tip on the fuel lines ontop of the pump. Use a Zip tie with a tightening tool. Don't break it into shambles like I did on the first one.

[@tocayo3603]

Zip tie with tightening tool? How exactly can you use that?? Any help very much appreciated

very nice, thanks

[@feildtech]

I know this video is old but it has helped me a lot it is th only video that shows how to do this I have a 2002 range rover and four pump looks exactly like mine can u tell me where bought ur pump from

[@robpoole9388]

Pump was purchased at a local auto parts store (T&T Auto Parts). They have 6 locations around the Vancouver area. Unless you are local you may want to order a pump online. Just checked Amazon: they have one for $161 Canadian (Spectra Premium SP1303)

[@groovyy_bastardd]

GREAT tutorial!!!!!! I used this vid to replace my fuel pump assembly. My question is, where did you secure (or anchor down) the LH fuel sending unit. I have reinstalled the fuel pump RH side. However, the LH side "sending unit" is floating in the tank. What did you anchor (secure) it to in the tank?

[@robpoole9388]

+Terrance D That's odd, I never had to deal with a left hand sending unit

[@arashakhyani1752]

hi Rob, thanks for the video. I have to change the fuel pump on mine now and basically going to follow what you have shown. my question is why did you remove both leads as the pump is one of them? Thanks

[@adrianparada5274]

hey how are you? one quick question;my fuel pump went out on my 05 range rover order a new one but why it comes with two fuel sending units?

[@abumannocchi8048]

those red clips to the fuel pump are the hardest to take of. Once you take those off what he said is right.

[@waynepatrick1]

Hi Robe, great video, my issue still persists though is it possible that these aftermarket pumps don't have the necessary strength? Because the PSI is weak on the new pump I put in, Which was a quantum...What brand would you recommend, asap? Thanks

[@robpoole9388]

Wayne P If you read in the comments I wrote I used a "Spectra Premium" part #SP1303. Worked great. Not sure about the Quantum. That's a bummer it is still not working after installing a new pump. I guess on the bright side your next install should be even quicker. Good luck.

[@trevorgoodall3412]

Just a other note don't run your car low on fuel as it can over heat the fuel pump keep at lest 1/4 tank of fuel on the gauge and this will prolong the life of your fuel pump

[@SuperyachtBroker]

That's prob what f**ked mine up. Altho 20yrs old, 155k, V8 11mpg, so it had pumped over 15,000 gals.

[@jdhab19]

Will the "Spectra Premium" pump (part # SP1303) pump work on an 05 HSE as well? I'm having an issue now with mine and we thing it's the fuel pump. Starting and stalling, trying to start and making a funny noise and smells like gas.

[@robpoole9388]

***** I believe the '04 and '05 were identical but you would need confirm that. The pump really does come out quickly so it may be worth it to just pull it out. Maybe you will get lucky and just the filter on the bottom of the pump is plugged a bit so a cleaning may clear things up. That being said, it is a Range Rover so you will probably need a new part somewhere :)

[@jdhab19]

Rob Poole We ordered one so we'll see. Its the worst vehicle i've ever owned. When I'm done I'll have replaced what I feel like is everything. I literally just got it back from the shop last weds and now this. I was stranded at the store today, wouldn't start. We went back to tow it back to the house and it started. Go figure. But apparently wanted to stall out the entire ride home. Grrrr time to get rid of it. Thanks for your video though, it will help when it comes time to change it.

[@canadianchungus701]

Great video! I got a 03 range rover at 171,000 km and the fuel pump gave out. After getting a quote of $2100.00 from the mechanic, I decided to take matters into my own hand and get it done myself. So in your opinion, to put it back, do I just reverse up the process in your video or is there a special process?

[@robpoole9388]

Full reverse, nothing special. Cheers

[@rjright7373]

Hey, great video, I just bought a 2004 HSE and its running rough apparently (physically getting truck in less than a week). I'm paying $1200 and a Macbook Pro Late 2013 ($700 value) and truck is Taxes included, delivered from 300 kms and transferred into my name Great Deal! Just want to know if your truck ran at all with the bad fuel pump or just wouldn't run at all? Im looking forward to diagnosing and repairing my new truck. Thanks for the video even tho it's a 2.0mp camera it got the job done.

[@robpoole9388]

My problem was is started running rough here and there... not all the time. Noticeable on a hill and on the power. Was like that for a couple of weeks. Then it became hard to start but not all the time. Then, it never started and I had to tow it home. So, mine slowly failed and never gave up all at once. Yours "could" be this but possibly others things too. As for the quality of the video; try changing your KZbin settings. This is full 1080HD and taken with a Contour+ at 5.0mp. Good luck with your HSE, seems like you got a good price there. Cheers.

[@Revoswathead]

Rob i bad 3 mechanics and we couldnt get connectors off.Should I drop fuwl pump.

[@robpoole9388]

+Revoswathead If they just don't come off then you could look into cutting the hose somewhere so you can take the pump out. Then, I would buy new fittings when I got the new pump. Price out the parts before you do that so you know if you can get them before cutting the fuel line.

[@arenaseparabe]

is this the same method for a 2008 land Rover LR3? 4.4L I would appreciate your help!Very Respectfully, Hugo Melchor USN RET Disabled AMERICAN VET.

[@robpoole9388]

+arenaseparabe Great question, sorry that I can't answer it though as I have no knowledge of the LR3 other than they look cool :)

[@yabzab]

I read somewhere that the fuel pump has a 'memory' - do I need to do anything special to protect that? I see you fitted a Spectra Premium" pump (part # SP1303) in 2014 - how has that worked out? Still working OK?

[@robpoole9388]

I never heard about a "memory" in the fuel pump. Mine was plug-n-play... installed it and it worked great. I have since sold the HSE but never had any complaints from the buyer.

[@rbetlej]

Hello Rob. I have replaced the original pump with the same spectra unit and it is running extremely loud. Was the one you replaced any louder then the original? Great video btw, Thank you.

Hi @@marcinpaweczyk538. I replaced the pump with the same Spectra one and was quiet for a week. I've been running it since with plans on replacing it with the Pierburg one. Its working fine just loud.

[@marcinpaweczyk538]

@@rbetlej Its so loud that I don't hear the engine :( its a pain in the ass really, I have read somewhere that this could also be caused by the clogged fuel filter? Did you change the fuel filter also?

How long did it take u to do this in real time?

[@robpoole9388]

Sorry for the late reply. Did this in about 30 mins real time (removal)

[@stevepanos4045]

Very helpful video! I have a quick question. After replacing the pump did you have to reset the computer system as well? Any help would be great

[@robpoole9388]

Plug-and-play... Installed the pump and it fired right up. No computer reset needed

[@tttran8360]

Hi im having some issues with my range rover currently what were your symptoms and how did you figure out it was the fuel pump?

[@robpoole9388]

tttran8360 Started running rough here and there... not all the time. Noticeable on a hill and on the power. Was like that for a couple of weeks. Then it became hard to start but not all the time. Then, it never started and I had to tow it home. So, mine slowly failed and never gave up all at once. I checked the bleeder valve on the steel fuel line on top of the engine (looks like a tire valve). You can have someone crank the engine and open the valve. If no fuel comes out its probably your relay or your pump.

[@tttran8360]

Rob Poole Hi thanks for the reply. I looked into the truck today. I replaced the fuel filter and spark plugs. Now all its doing is starting up and dying soon after it starts if it even starts at all. I did a pressure check on the valve under the hood. It was reading at about 18-22 psi. Does that sound right? Any info would be highly appreciated.

[@robpoole9388]

tttran8360 Mine started and died right away too. The pump might build up pressure but stop pumping and the pressure may stay in the line. You could have the pump out in under 30 mins. Then you can bench test it. Mine would run for a few seconds then stop. Then it died completely. good luck in getting it fixed

Is that's the in tank fuel pump

[@robpoole9388]

Yup, in tank

[@danielf1016]

Has 2 pumps?

[@derrickmayo1298]

Just one the other six is a float to measure fuel in the upper tank. If you google a tank for this model it has two sides one is higher than the other ( the one closest to the filler hole) it is connected to the other side where the actual pump is.

[@robpoole9388]

Derrick is correct, this one only has one pump. Cheers

hey great video I just finished installing my new pump but now won't start at all...seems like the pedal has no pressure...do you know how to re-pressurize the fuel? also do the plastic pipes at the bottom of the sending unit connect to anything?...I just put it back in and couldn't see that they attached anywhere

Hahaah so my fuel gauge wasnt working so I purchase new 1 thinking this would work..it did not...help

[@boristhebully]

Great Video Rob. I'm about to tackle this issue on my L322 2003 TD6 here in the UK. Was yours in the video a petrol or diesel? Is there any difference when doing the replacement on a diesel? Does the fuel gauge need to be reset after this job, someone told me the gauge will read wrong after the pump change. Thanks again 👍😊
