0 Ivor Ramsden Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 (edited) If you're a member of the 101 club you can get a pump from the club spares shop. 101clubshop.org They have a good range of spares but they are only for club members, however the low prices make it well worth joining. They have members worldwide so I'm sure they'll ship to you. Alternatively you could fit a remote pump.

0 robin craig Posted October 12, 2013 Author Share Posted October 12, 2013 Dear Ivor, Thanks for that info that the 101 club has them, I was hoping to flush that answer out and give us an excuse to join. Cheers R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Tony B Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 Best place for 101 spares. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 R Cubed Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 I know of people who have removed the in tank pump and fitted the standard facet pump on the body somewhere. also easy for future changes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Tony B Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 A Standard Range Rover pump would be a viable option, same engine after all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 robin craig Posted October 12, 2013 Author Share Posted October 12, 2013 We are investigating all options as you have described, we too follow lateral thinking lines, even out here in the colonies. As the truck is being readied to be a runner for the droves of tyre kickers who will view it, just getting it running is the main issue, cheapness a directive issued by higher to be followed. We will of course follow the "no new holes nothing welded on" policy with whatever solution we opt for. Thanks R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks R I nave been running my 101 for years with a aftermarket electric fuel pump mounted on the chassis. more reliable than the standard pumps in the tank. Much cheaper too.

0 Tony B Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 There si the second pump for the Esperbacher, this will run the engine as well! I had to do a patch repair to get home once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 robin craig Posted December 30, 2013 Author Share Posted December 30, 2013 Tony that is an excellent "get home" fix, positively brilliant. We ended up pulling the in tank pump out and rebuilding the whole contraption using an off the shelf Delphi pump and a matching strainer for it and mounted it back in the tank. The OVLR FAQ provided much info orginally posted by the legend of 101s over here, David Lowe from Toronto. David foiund many fixes and work arounds that are cheap and readily available on this side of the pond. I am told by luminaries in the mechanical word that early immersed ie in the tank pumps were notorious for their unrelaible nature. Technololgy has come a long way and he feels that what we have fitted will exceed OEM quality and longevity and price. Thanks to everyone, vehicle running and now sold.
