Further update on this, it is now getting worse, so I think that the fuel tank level may have been a bit of a red herring.
Need some help with this, as I am unsure whether to go down the Throttle Position Sensor or Fuel Pump Routes to initially look at. Not helped by the need for a 300 + mile journey this weekend. Has anybody else made any progress with this problem, or resolved it. Otherwise is there anybody on here in North Kent that could help me with plugging into diagnostic tool? |

plugging into diagnostic tool for fuel pump not point, system can not read fuel presser
presser gage at engine end fuel system presser 4 bar with pump running video shows fuel presser test for disco 2 same engine but elect part of the video will be not good for defender had same problem with 90 low fuel presser i.e. 2.1 bar start and run ok but Flat Spot on Light Throttle and in time not power to towing and hills |

I will tell you gents if this helps later on this week. I also have this problem and have narrowed it down to the pump. Should be here today, so change at the weekend.

I'm wondering if I have a similar issue. No flat spot, but it's just generally a bit limp. Managed to get a gauge on the post regulator side and getting 4bar with engine off, but once it's warmed up it sits nearer 3.5, and as low as 3 under hard acceleration!

Is it in that tight?! I think I'd just drop the tank rather than cut holes in the floor

I am now confused by the problem, as I mentioned I had to run to Cromer on Saturday (350 mile round trip), truck had no problem running 75 / 80mph all of the time on motorway, and felt quite lively, so I started to suspect that the problem was not the fuel pump, as it was running so well, despite the fact that when we left in the morning I could occasionally feel the flat spot, which started leading me towards thinking it was the Throttle pedal.
However, on the way home, I didn't notice it at all, to the extent that I tried to replicate what I knew would have caused it previously and couldn't Is this something that could 'fix itself'? |

Having dropped the tank once before and had a pipe split on me i am not keen to do it again. Added to this I would have to remove the X-eng anti-roll bar and quite honestly without a ramp the job is a bit of a PITA... Hence the inspection hatch. Have a drawer system on top of this in the well so it will only be used when I need to get the pump out. The Discovery has one, the Defender should of as well IMHO. |
