Hi there,

rover have made this system very hard to work on without factory tooling, including scanners, this is so they can try and keep all the work in house, you will have to find a work shop with a top quality scanner or a factory unit, as an example, my top of the range snap on scanner will not read all rover codes.

ok thank's , do you think it worth trying a new fuel pump on it and do you know where i can find the impacked fuel pump shut of relay because i've looked under the seat's and under the bonnet and also in the back of the motor so i can re-place a new one ....

Fuel pumps are not cheap, get the pressure readings and post it here first, i will look up the pump specs.

Fuel pressure should be 35-37Psi, and i think that the switch is under the L/F seat, check there.
