Is this just a UK/Europe problem or should I be raising it with my "trusty" Australian dealer?

you'll probably find the fuel pump issue is VIN specific, so you can ask your dealer to search for you, or try and find the valid VIN range yourself and check against your car. You may need to find the TSB, or recall notice for this..

Cheers,

Yep, sure is - I went through two pumps - both shot bearings. Sure makes a mess of the belt and the cover.

Mine is a Oct 2005 RRS TDV6.

Alto in Sydney know the procedure really well  RRS TDV6 Bluetooth, VR, Roof

Do you have a TSB number or a copy of the TSB for the recall Lateral?

I don't Rower, I actually think mine helped kick off the recall. I took my car in to get the persistent transmission rasp noise attended too about 4-5 months back. They thought it was the high pressure fuel pump, so they replaced it and there started my problems. It blew through two replacement pumps and the guys at Alto showed me the unit - totally seized up bearing which stripped the belt and melted the belt cover - real mess. When I picked it up the third time, I was speaking with GAry at Alto and that's when he told me LR had started a recall - he had about 4500 cars to do!

Ironically, there was nothing wrong with my original pump.... and the transmission noise is still there. LR have now said that is....."normal"....ie it is too expensive to fix or they don't know how.  RRS TDV6 Bluetooth, VR, Roof

Are you in Melb? If so, take it to Gary or Pete at MLR - they will know about it. If they don't ask them to call Gary at Alto Syd.....Gary to call Gary  RRS TDV6 Bluetooth, VR, Roof

You obviously haven't seen my thread in the dealership feedback section Lateral.. I don't intend to return to Melbourne City Land Rover (MLR)

I'll see if Lance Dixon know about it!

I have had Lance Dixon check my VIN, and my car doesn't require the fuel pump recall.

If you go here:

You can see all of the recalls for Land Rover, and that the fuel pump recall was issued on 6th August 2009.
