Fuel pump fuse keeps blowing.....LR guy put new fuse in and bled air out of the system to get it going this morning, but as it happened again tonight whilst wife was driving at 50mph clearly something must be making it trip, and as it happened on in the middle lane of a 3 lane 60mph road it's not surprising the she and the kids were scared  less by the time I arrived.

Character, I totally agree with you and I've already taken this up with LR Assist, who to be honest, didn't seen that interested, but they will on Monday when I call them again and send the pictures. From my point of view, from my dropping my kids off at sea cadets on Friday evening, to my getting back 4 miles home again, it took me 5 hours by which time on a Friday night all I wanted was to get home and it was only that I went in the truck with the driver, that I could see just how overloaded and potentially dangerous it was.

Well I didn't have any problems towing the D4 tonight with the wife's 04 D2, and of course she will never let me live that one down  ill be interested to see what loan car they bring me in the morning as I've insisted on a 7 seater.
