yesterday mornin, my fuel pump sounded like it was struggling, had a really loud whine to it... i just assumed cause i live on a hill and had 1/4 of a tank, just needed to be moved... so after a day of driving, still making the noise, i figured it was a bit messed up, but seemed ok to drive... so this morning i drove to school fine, end of the day, got in my car drove up the road (uphill slightly).. battery light came on, car died, and rolled back down the hill, i turned the wheel (no power steering) to try and get it closer to the curb.. and managed to get it onto steering lock
so i had it locked turned to the right, in reverse, which resulted in me running into a curb backwards, and then up the curb and up across the footpath, before i managed to stop it (2ft from a fence)

found out the fuel pump is shagged...have put power to it, have checked relay and everything, but it wont run... so how much am i looking at for:
a genuine ford one
an aftermarket one
a reco'd one (if it would be ok)
a dodgy upullit one

ive read how to do it, and am comfortable doing the job. just need to know where the best place to get a new pump is... also.. what kind of pump am i looking for an EA series 1 Fairmont multipoint...

thanks alot
Ken

get on the phone and ring the auto stores locally tomorrow morning and ask them how much.

got one for 65 from local wreckers, took 40 minutes to remove and install new one, should have attached the hoses before i did up the lock ring, i think i inhaled half of my petrol.. haha

u-pullit are $40 if your going 2nd hand. Performance aftermarket are cheaper than genuine ford iirc

I personally wouldn't put a second hand fuel pump in either.. I tried that once, it worked, for a little while... after 3 second hand ones (they were free), I went down the quarter mile (stock), and it s**t itself on the way there.. so I just went an bought a Walbro 255 Ltr/Hr for $90 or something... never had a problem since.
