Coincidence or not, fuel pump and relay issue.

Hi,

Took the griffith out a few days ago, went down one of the canyons in our fabulous roads……. and the car died instantly.

Fuel pump would not prime, turned out the fuel pump seized and the relay also stopped.

Would the fuel pump seizing knock out the relay, or just a coincidence?

New fuel pump fitted and a couple of relays and all is good again.

Our cars have to be road worthy, surely the roads should be car worthy…

My thoughts exactly, the relays looked original 30 years old, as was the pump.
