I've been experiencing running problems over the last few days (in so much as it doesn't...).
Well it starts, but after a short period, it stops again.
I've traced it to the fuel pump - a gentle tap and it 'ticks' back into life, and you can see the fuel level in the fuel filter rise.
Although I 'broke down' 5 times on my journey to work this morning, at least it was a quick, albeit temporary, fix to continue my journey...:?
However, I also noticed the fuel pump was very hot to the touch. Almost to hot to touch. Surely not a good thing, what with the fuel and all...
Anyway, does anyone know:
a) should the pump get this hot - I suspect not
b) would an overhaul kit resolve my issues or am I looking at a new pump
c) removing the end of the pump and liberally spraying the electrics/mechanism with WD40 got me to work. I might have it fixed (?) - journey home will tell I guess.
Just off for a few laps of the office car park now...
