Not the first 40d on here to need a high pressure pump they changed from a cast iron pump to aluminium and they have proved less reliable. You mileage is quite low for big failures though hopefully that's the end of it :driving:

I chose to pay to have it tested before lunging into replacing and they said it must have to been in early stages of breaking up as the injectors was tested last month and there was no metal filings in the injectors just 1 electrically faulty when they opened the pump ip it was sludged up and had metal filings at least it’s running now see how long I get out of it this time lol

PF jones do recon HPFP, you get £240 on return of old pump. I had to just source one due to oil starvation and engine damage
