Gave the car a complete Physical and EKG,,, The fuel pump was Flat Lining,,, So we took it out and Sure-Nuff is was dead infact the 2 top connections showed signs of the pump running hot...
The Jag Dealer replaced it at 20,000 miles in 2008,,, The fact that it sat for so long (I purchased the car 11/15/2011 22,000 miles) was most likely the reason for the failure..
Pump $1100.00
Seal $ 59.00
Cover $79.00
The Rise I get from DRIVING IT.... PRICELESS

$1238 (£792) would definitely disturb my equilibrium. That must have been a very successful fishing trip.

"You're remarkably laid back about this.

That does not include the labor,,,LOL. Total bill was 2,000.00... Well worth it... Have the fuel pressure at idle at 54.3-55.4 PSI Scoped the car with the Pico6 scope software,,, She PURRS like a kitten
Fishing is always GOOD... Here is my backyard Jupiter Inlet Webcam 3 miles from the Gulfstream,,, 57 miles Grand Bahama Island... I am in the ocean Bending my rod within 20 minutes... next is the underwater metal detector lots of Spanish Loot out the inlet in 20 - 60 ft of water..

Nice finds. Don't you get Conger eels down there?
Tell us a bit more about PicoScope - I thought you could only use current clamps and ignition pickups with it - it surely doesn't interface with the OBD does it?

This software is GREAT,,, I can literally see how fast the fuel pump spins I EKG's the whole car,,, Take a LOOK,,,
PicoScope Oscilloscope Software - the standard in PC Oscilloscope software
CONGER EELS They are out there they actually spawn in the Sargasso Sea and travel up the North American coast... Never seen one in the Ocean only on my plate at the SUSHI BAR...
We did catch a 6.5 ft Bull Shark the other night,,, got him to the boat did a light gaff on him,,,pulled him up and asked my friend to pull the hook out of his mouth,,,(did not want to lose the hook or cable)... Billy went to grab the hook and the shark rolled and splashed took off with my GAFF but left the hook... I have it on video I'll see if I can post it...

It is downloaded on my buddies laptop... His shop has all the new gadgets... Cleanest shop I have ever been in..
Infact a neat story,,, in the shop is the 3rd made Shelby AC Cobra... A guy in California picked it up on the cheap,,, A ladies husband died and she wanted the garage cleaned out tools car and all it was totally cluttered could not walk in it... He gave her $10,000 for all the junk and NOT KNOWING ABOUT THE CAR... by the time he cleaned the garage out he found the car...
Realizing what he had (almost) he told the lady he bought all the junk from that he would like to get it appraised and SPLIT the Proceeds with her.. HE HAD A BILL OF SALE FOR ALL THE CONTENTS... She declined the offer and tried to SUE for it Back... She lost and then Carrol Shelby came to see the car said it was number 3 off the line and offered him 3.5 million for it,,, he declined and the car is at Tims Shop... It is unbelievable....

Sorry, I expressed myself badly.
With your fuel pump example, for instance, how is the data on fuel pump rpm captured ?
Are you using a current clamp on the fuel pump supply for instance?

Tim hooked it up in the trunk I do believe to the module and ran it to his Laptop, I did not see how it was connected Just DID not look,,, I will ask if he uses a plug in or clamps... Might depend on the car...
I am thinking that he might of had clamps,, but again I did not look... But even I could read it and he overlayed the old pumps EKG over the New pumps EKG what a difference,,,
And now the car seems EVEN SMOOTHER at IDLE... Do not know on the Acceleration yet... PBTW has not let me drive it yet...LOL,,, She said that I RUINED the fuel pump because I drive to HARD...LOL If they only KNEW...
