i have a problem with my mazda 626, 1982 model. when i turn the key normally i can hear a ticking sound from underneath the car which is the fuel pump working. it then suddenly stopped working and the float chamber in the carb is now empty and obviously, there is no combustion in the engine. the tank is almost empty (probably under 5 litres), would the fuel pump automatically turn off when the tank is near empty?
sorry it isn't a landrover, but any help would be, well, very helpful!
