A few month ago I needed to put a new fuel pump in due to not starting. Yesterday had the same problems again. Didn't start after a stop. Luckily we were on top of a small mountain pass so could let the car roll down. Road was very bumpy. I try to start after a few KM bumping. Started as normal. Drove an other half hour. Stopped for a coffee. Wanted to drive home after the coffee break. No starting (also no buzzing from the pump) checked all connections in the front including fuses. Nothing found. Still no starting. Opened the back, took the boot liner out. Gave the pump a bang on the head with my hand. Car started normal again. Called the dealer and he said could be a bad electrical connection in the pump ? ! But on both pumps ? I opened the pump and the thought it could be perhaps this connections as on the picture. Any thoughts ?
Laurens , I had a similar problem with my fuel pump , Krazy Horse tracked it down to a poor earth connection . Unfortunately I didn't ask where it was but it wasn't in the pump . Good luck ! Hugh
Hi Laurens I remember that someone faced as well such a kind of issue. His problem was caused by a weak connector at the fuse box. Have a look in the manual to identify, which fuse is related, then check the if the cable connector is still tight or may have slipped down. Best regards Kurt

If you beat on the pump and it worked after that a would say it is in the pump unit, and I would replace it. And take it back for a warranty claim if you can.
Also dont buy the standard unit. They are known to fail on the landrovers they are fitted too. Why Morgan chose such an expensive unit with a known failure record is beyond me. Then again they did the same with the compensator!!
Just remember to remove the sender arm and cut the little plastic tab off the new unit. If you look at the old one you will see Morgan cut this tab off also
Okay, I'm confused, most of you already know that about me...
If the fuel pump has a float sender built into it, why use the VDO auxiliary gauge sender?
Or am I missing something?
Also considered this. My thoughts were that the damping offered by the tube enclosed VDO sender better suited a car designed to be enthusiastically driven and with balanced twin tanks - but then they added the crazy display
