OEM Part Number: confirm via VIN — fuel pumps (aftermarket) Hüco 132744 / Astemo 2503188

Accuracy note: Covers the Land Rover Freelander 2 (2006-2014) as listed in the UK aftermarket catalogues. In-tank fuel pumps are sold two ways: as a complete feed unit (the pump in its swirl pot with the fuel-level sender and float) or as a bare pump that is fitted into the old housing, and petrol and diesel versions are not interchangeable — most diesels have only a low-pressure lift pump in the tank, with the high-pressure pump on the engine. The references below are UK aftermarket catalogue listings for this generation, labelled by brand; genuine numbers are shown only where a listing quotes one. Check fuel type, the plug pin count and whether your car has one sender or two (saddle tanks on 4x4 and some larger cars) against your VIN before ordering.

Fuel pumps / feed units (aftermarket)	Hüco 132744 (complete petrol feed unit with fuel sender, assembly information to be observed); Hella 8TF 358 303-941 (complete feed unit with fuel sender, 6 pins, seal included, fitting by qualified personnel); VDO 2803580125302 (complete diesel feed unit assembly); Astemo 2503188 (diesel in-tank pump); Ridex 1382F0246 (diesel feed unit, 1.4 bar); Ridex 1382F0387 (feed unit with sender, 2.5 bar / 110 l/h, 4 connectors); ESEN SKV 02SKV248 and Energy G10083 (bare diesel in-tank lift pump with filter, 3.2 bar / 130 l/h, 12 V, 43 mm diameter); Meat & Doria 77542 (diesel feed unit, 1.4 bar).
Types & variants	The 2.2 TD4, SD4 and eD4 diesels carry a low-pressure in-tank sender module with a lift pump; this is sold complete (VDO, Meat & Doria 77542 / Hoffer 7507542, Vemo V48-09-0025, Ridex 1382F0246, all around 1.4 bar) or as a bare 43 mm lift pump to fit into the old housing (ESEN SKV, Energy, Astemo). Later diesels also have an external in-line pump at about 5 bar (Energy G10081, ESEN SKV 02SKV013, ERA 770036A at 5 bar / 120 l/h, Metzger 2250038). The 3.2 i6 and 2.0 Si4 petrol cars use the Hüco 132744 feed unit with sender; the Hella unit also includes the sender.
Genuine (OE) numbers quoted	LR038602 (Meat & Doria 77542, Hoffer 7507542).
Fitment notes	The diesel has two pumps, the in-tank lift pump at low pressure and the in-line pump feeding the high-pressure pump, so the symptom decides which to replace; a bare 43 mm lift pump drops into the original module and keeps the old gauge sender, while the VDO and Hüco units replace the whole module with a new sender.

Land Rover Freelander 2 Fuel Pump: A Part That Fails at the Worst Possible Moments

This is one of the more inconveniently timed failures the Land Rover Freelander 2 can have — it tends to strand drivers mid-journey rather than politely failing while the car's parked on the drive. Recognising the early warning signs buys real time to sort it before you're stuck somewhere inconvenient.

Before you buy: fuel pump specifications vary by engine size and fuel type, and petrol/diesel versions are never interchangeable. Always confirm against your VIN before ordering.

Land Rover Freelander 2 Fuel Pump: What It Does

Delivering fuel from the tank to the engine at the correct pressure for combustion is the Land Rover Freelander 2's fuel pump's whole job. It lives inside the tank itself, submerged in fuel, which is exactly why replacing something this small is a more involved job than it looks.

Accuracy note: these are documented patterns by generation and engine family, not a substitute for confirming your exact engine code — always verify against your V5C before ordering, since petrol and diesel pumps are never interchangeable.

2006–2014, 2.2 diesel & petrol variants	Spans both diesel (in-tank lift pump plus an engine-mounted high-pressure pump) and petrol (in-tank low-pressure pump, plus a separate high-pressure pump if direct-injection) variants — confirm your exact engine before ordering

A Genuinely Useful Piece of Context Worth Knowing About Fuel Pump Faults — Land Rover Freelander 2 Fuel Pump

If the engine keeps cutting out unexpectedly, this is genuinely worth knowing before assuming the pump itself is failing: documented cases on related Land Rover models describe this exact symptom traced to a corroded fuel pump relay, connector block, or feed wire, rather than a genuinely faulty pump.

A genuinely important finding worth knowing: a confirmed recall on a related Land Rover model addressed the high pressure fuel pump specifically, worth checking whether a similar issue has been identified on your model against the official recall register.

It's also genuinely worth knowing that engine cutting out has, in documented cases, led to the wrong pump being replaced entirely before the actual fault was correctly identified, worth having a proper diagnostic carried out first.
