Hey guys/gals,
I have been searching about my 2004 Mini Cooper S R53 10/03 production FUEL PUMP issue during engine start.
I'm pretty sure it's the fuel pump fault and it needs to be replaced.
Has anyone replaced it yourself before?
Where do I begin? Any helpful tips? Take the tank off? How? Any basic instruction would get me started and I can finish the rest.
I've seen the fuel filter replace DIY, but searched through pages and couldn't find any replacement DIY for the pump.

any help would be appreciated
thanks!

Here is some advice from someone who knows: Fuel Pump - North American Motoring (http://www.northamericanmotoring.com/forums/stock-problems-issues/156865-fuel-pump.html). Good luck.

thanks, i spoke to him, sounds like it's a pain and smelly job!
if you're in the Chicago area and need work, call him up!! great guy
