Ours lost power on the motorway a month ago and the reduced engine performance light came on. MD later told me that they plugged the diagnostic tool into the car and the reason for the reduced engine performance was because the water pump (connected to the supercharger I think/ mechanic said it was a known issue on the SC) had failed. They replaced the water pump. Don't know if your car will have similar?

Got a fault code reader and its not listing any fault codes at all and there were absolutely no warning lights came up on the dash at all. Hoping a new fuel filter will resolve it and read on another post that giving the fuel pump a knock with a hammer can sometimes help. Hope the rain stays away today............. least till its fixed. |

ok - new fuel filter installed and not made a jot of difference (only filter that not been changed since I got the car so was on the list of to do's. After a bit of further investigation on fuses/relays we have arrived at 12volts getting to the fuel pump ok but pump is not working so appears pump is the issue. Anyone any experience with reviving a dodgy pump or am I best just to replace it? |

Its the in tank pump - the 4.4 v8 only appears to have one fuel pump, got really confused looking for a 2nd pump but there isnt one - not according to the manual anyway. The part that you access underneath the vehicle on passenger side thru the small panel is the fuel filter. |

Ah, sorry chap. I wasn't sure what the petrol rr had, no experience of the in tank pump I'm afraid.
