If I am correct you need to drop the fuel tank to get to it, as its under the tank

The fuel pump?

Drop the fuel tank and unbolt the plate that holds it in...it is in the tank

Ok, the tank looks well tucked in there!
Any idea how to remove?

PS you shouldn't go far wrong with that write up ^

It is one of the more decent ones that I have stumbled across in my travels and comes with handy step-by-step photos

Thank you so much

[KarlBristol]

Thank you so much

No probs

Remove under trays front to back
Remove the metal coolant lines
Remove cross braces under the tank
Remove one handbrake cable to allow it to be moved to one side
Undo pipes attached at firewall to fill neck breathers etc
Remove centre console
Remove ash tray
Remove plate with wiring going through
Remove tank straps underneath and prise tank out whilst someone guides wiring out safely

That's the gist of it, most things will become obvious once you start

I'm about to do it on mine again, this time on a gravel drive rather than the nice paved one I did it on previously

Damn you Karl, do it the easy way!

Any suggestions on which pump to replace with. I know if I use my old tubby one that sods law dictates it will fail

It would yes

I fitted a rogue Motorsport pump in mine, although I can't review it too well, as mine has done very few miles. I trust rogue to use a half decent product, so I didn't mind giving it a go, if your unsure go with the name therefore Walbro

[racingrepairs]

Looking to pay how much

[Fozzy]

Rogue pump is just over 60 quid, walbros seem to be 70-90 quid new
