Hi all,

My fuel pump has died and I am getting the replacement today,
the question is, will I need to cut a hole in the floor or is there
already a hole there by 1991 ?

TIA

I'm pretty sure that by 1991 they had put the removable panel into the back.

That is what I have heard, where is it ? centre of the cargo aread on the passenger side ?

I guess I will pull all the carpet and rubber matts out and find it

It's just there to soak up the chardonnay spilt while mounting curbs.

I would say by the fact it's in the 'Rover' section and the heading is '1991 Range Rover Fuel pump - do I need to cut holes?' and yes range rover have carpet in them.....

Just FYI guys,

there was indeed a hole there, and the fuel pump was retained by a big
screw top jar style fitting. The thing was very tight and I needed
to use a piece of round blunt steel and a hammer to hit around the plastic rim of it to loosen the seal. As ususal make sure the battery terminal is disconnected so you can't accidentially spark the terminals

I will let you know how it goes with the new fuel pump, that will hopefully fix my fuel problem

Hi RR
I have sealing woes with an early disco fuel pump swap.
Be wary of the 'O" ring seal on the tank.It can be tricky to get right.
