Can anyone help? The car will turn over on the battery but will not fire up. Have had buckets of rain recently. Could that have anything to do with it or could it be a fuel pump? How easy are they to replace and how easy is it to source one for a grey import?

Thanks

Fuel pumps are easily sourced and fairly easy to replace, though you need to purge the fuel in the lines.....

Thumbs up

Thanks lads, it was the fuel pump alright. I gave it a belt while trying to start it and she started up just fine. So its obviously sticking and its time for a new one. I priced one here in rip-off central Ireland and it was approx 420 euros, needless to say I got one from the UK for 190 euro including v.a.t and delivery.

Cheers
