Default Rover 75 Fuel Pump (Petrol)

I have been told by a roadside engineer from Green Flag that the fuel pump in my Rover 75 (2 litre Petrol) is not working. Does anyone know if this is likely and is it a DIY job or one for the local garage?

Welcome to the club! I would strongly suggest going out, turning on the ignition and listening very carefully ....if you hear a humming coming from the back seat area, your pump IS working but your fuel filter may well have disassembled itself...the fuel filter has two halves that screw together but over time they can unscrew...mine has just done it after 78000 miles! It will stop the fuel reaching your engine. There is a modification for this which is known as 'The fabled Orange Clip' but you can ensure it does not come undone again just with a small self-tapping screw. There is a 'How-to' for repairing this...it is a simple 1/2 hour job....although you will have to subscribe to access it...a bargain if you can fix it for a tenner!

i agree with what zeb said above, i have a 2.0 v6 and my breakdown people said it was the fuel pump, when it was the fuel filter module had just come apart, all i needed was the the ornage clip and hey presto it all worked, i was a complete novice at car diy but i did it my self!!!

What is the problem that resulted in the pump diagnosis?
Petrol pumps very rarely give problems. Many are changed ritualistically to attempt solve starting issues, when the true cause is FFS. Few garages are even aware of it.

Default Problem

The Green Flag engineer undone a pipe connector that should carry petrol to the engine and could not get any fuel
