Yeah I think that might be the next step
I fitted a outboard motor type primer bulb inline which I was trying to use to prime the system. Will get a gen LR filter, check all pipe work for blockages, fill with fuel and try again with the connector off. Strange because my replacement filters were expensive MANN filters parts!

well ive had very little luck so far.
Changed fuel filters twice (most recently to gen LR part just in case), had lots of injector cleaner in, emptied and refilled tank, bled(isn?) system to no avail. even had filter HOUSING changed in case of blockage etc. this was the end result of todays work:  Click image to enlarge AA man was lovely, and the truck was a fair old piece of kit! car's been recovered to the garage, hopefully will have some news tomorrow. Admin note: this post has had its images recovered from a money grabbing photo hosting site and reinstated  Cheers, David

Update on this saga.
Tank, lift pump, fuel line, filter housing, filter all either cleaned, replaced or refurbished at Guy Salmon's expense (hooray!) Bad news: no change. Almost certainly either high pressure pump which should go through warranty, but can't get part until next Friday. Scuppers my NWLRC weekend, but looking into hiring a vehicle for that! (Maybe a discovery 4 lol!) Frustrating... I didn't even know the puma had a lift pump! Cheers, David Land Rovers of all shapes S3 onwards… Daily is a 110 V8. |

Sorry i don't know the engine at all, but if it were an old school diesel i'd be looking for the injector pump pre filter gauze, normally on the injector pump inlet, these used to be incredibly fine and would block if water got that far.
As i said i don't know the engine it might not have one  A man with no boat is a prisoner |

New pumps appear to be eye wateringly expensive, i hope you didn't tell them you put dirty fuel in it! A man with no boat is a prisoner
