whining sound
 

coming from the rear end of the zed, underneath, fuel tank kind of area, whines constantly whilst engine on, fuel pump?? costly??

Possibly fuel pump, can you check it against another zed?

Electric pump circa £88 or in-tank pump assembly £288 but prices not latest, as per Rimmer Bros.

no other zeds are local ish to that i know of, thought it wouldn't be a cheap job

Get one from a local scrappy, not certain but they may all be the same spec, including any Rover injection etc

just the pump or complete tank and pump assembly?

Having never removed one I would guess a whole assembly might be best as the sender is part of the assembly. However it is not a tank in place procedure, so the tank will need to be dropped to access it.

my brother is a bmw tech, he's just had a look and he says its most likely the fuel pump, so will be dropping my fuel tank off in the next couple of days! see if i can fix it! as a forklift tech myself not really my territory but ill give it a shot !

Hi, I`m in Shirley, if you want to listen to another pump as a comparison.

What engine is yours? Not sure about the 2.5 but i know the k-series 1.4/1.6/1.8 uses the same pump across the range and im pretty sure they use the same pump as the old 400 so plenty in the scrapyards.

I sometimes get a whining sound in my car, it usually stops when the wife gets out though!
