Hi Folks
I’m hoping that someone on here has access to an exploded diagram of my engine and ancillaries.
I’m looking for the part no. for the vacuum pump oil feed pipe for a 2000my Freelander 1 XEDi. This pipe screws into the main engine oil gallery and supplies the vacuum pump.
A part no has been suggested LQP1005BO but this seems to be for a Rover 620. Might it be the same?

I fitted a new alternator and had trouble fitting the original feed pipe. In the end I used a length of 1/4” copper pipe. Everything works as it should except that now oil drips from the alternator. I have a feeling that supplying engine oil at full gallery pressure is too much for the alternator/vacuum pump seal and the original feed pipe might be somehow modified to reduce pressure and flow.

Any ideas or theories worth sharing? I would like to stop the oil drips on the drive!
 
The L Series is pretty standard between vehicles - except for the injection pump.

I could be wrong, but I'd have thought the parts was compatible with Freelander if it was for a 620.

Interestingly, I just googled that part number and didn't get any hits. That is unusual when searching for part numbers. Are you sure its correct?
 
Hi Grumps
I’m not sure it is correct. I got the part no. from enlarging a picture of the item and its label on eBay. That’s why I wanted to find the correct part no. I’m not sure why I’m that bothered apart from the oil drips. Also I can’t help thinking that if that 1/4” pipe fractures it will lose all my oil very quickly!

My old girl, (the car!) is still going strong. 165k miles but the paint job has suffered. She’s kept outside in all weathers and the whole car has faded and turned matt finish. Yours must suffer worse sunlight uv degradation. Over here it’s just rainwater degradation!
 
Part no. I’ve been given is actually LQP100580. Trouble is Rimmers are asking £45GBP inc. vat for a bit of bent brake pipe about 300mm long.
 
lol, yeh, mine is showing its age. Mainly on the inside - stitching and material degrading on the seats, roof lining dropping etc. Also got 'sun burn' on the paintwork, but (at this stage) not to bad - I gave it a good jet wash a couple of weeks ago and it looked pretty impressive afterwards - it also still beligerantly continues to not fail. Wondering if some T-Cut type product might bring yours up nice if the top coats is still there!

Pretty sure the engine is becoming more worn to. Lots of smoke from the old girl these days, not just at higher revs either.

I renewed the whole rear brake system a couple of years back. Everything was very cheaply price including drums, cylinders etc. I was warned though that in disconnecting the cylinders, the pipes to the flexi hoses would likely perish and need replacement. They are only short little stubby pipes... but were stupidly expensive. Luckily our salt free roads meant that the pipes were good as new and bolted onto the new cylinders just fine.

But, I can see how your little pipe would come with a silly high price!

This fella is selling one for £15...

Looks (old stock) new and unused. You could give it a try, or maybe ask the fella if its compatible.

I think oil seeps from every possible weak (and not so) part of mine. The engine and areas around parts of it are caked in oil and it definitely leaves its mark where ever it gets parked. Bit like spilt milk though, loads on engine and floor - but the level does not appear to drop at the same rate :D

Hope you get it sorted.

Yep that’s the one. Was £12.9gbp when I first looked. Still need to know if it is the correct part no for L-series Freelander tho’

Regarding head liner, I stitched mine with a upholstery stitcher and is ok after an year. If aligned, stitches look rather ok.
