Bossbob : with all due respect re-read my post……..!!!
Not a “Newby mistake”

I wrote that thé 1st time I changed the fuel filter I wondered why LR didn’t do as per my previous car :Disco 2 TD5 & fit à pressure pump in the tank…….thus avoiding air-locks problems that lots of owners have reported…………this has to be true….but : downside being, in my case thé said pressure pumps became noisy….I was thinking a failure was imminent , & doing lots of miles I changed them…….ditto the pressure regulator which reduced fuel pressure from the 75 lbs/sq.in supplied by pump in tank….but have a tendency to leak fuel ……changed 3 times in 470k mls as well………
So perhaps à fuel pressure pump in the tank wasn’t a good idea given the lack of quality of product !
Pump was £150 ea
Press.Reg was£90 ea.& à pig of à job…..!
Perhaps the LR 2 system is ok after all….! Provided thé system is correctly primed. FL2 SD4 HSE Lux Auto MY 2012— current
D2 TD5 HSE Man MY 1999 470kmls….gone 2014 ….lovely engine..chassis rotten
D1 300TDI Man MY 1996 56kmls….gone 1999…D2 much better
Wife’s FL1 1.8P MY 2001 32kmls …gone 2007…has Mini since.

Quick photo of how the pump is attached i'm sure quite a lot of members know already though.

I did both my FL2's September 2024

Neat setup Artic……does the job….! As I wrote yesterday LR could have fitted a primer for a few pence

The last time I changed my fuel filter and bled it as per usual, it would start, but not run for long.

In the end I plugged in my icarsoft v2.0 LR and got an error code related to the fuel temp.

Cleared it and and all was well.
