Default 3 door fuel pump

Well after leaving my 3 door untouched in a garage for a few years, it's decided not to start
Have narrowed it down to the fuel pump - where's the best place to get a new one?

thanks in advance

give it a light tap all around with the wooden end of a hammer, they gum up sometimes and just need a nudge to get whirring again

Hi mate,

Not sure if these guys will have it for the model you need but my mechanic generally recommends me to use this site http://d2pautoparts.com/all-car-part...uel-pumps.html for parts.

Hope it helps mate!

Thanks all, just ordered a new one from MSD.
I'll probably end up doing a mini restoration at the same time. Haven't laid a spanner on the car in a few years but I can feel the urge to get it back on the road now I've lay underneath it.
Sounds expensive

Yeah unfotunately the fuel pump hanger assembly can look quite shabby cos its so exposed under there. I refreshed mine on my 3dr 18 months ago cos it looked rusty.
I think the hardest part may be getting new rubber mounts if they are perished.
Good luck with it.
