Hey, good to know! Thanks for the information.

Thanks Gary,

I have regularly changed the main fuel filter on my Terrano over the last 200,000km but never knew there was another on the pump end.

 

I will have a look if I can get at it easily. It is bloody hard to get under the inlet manifold and at the fuel pump on mine.

 

Anybody know if it is the same on the 1992 Terrano?

 

Cheers
