Creme looks better. Car looks lovely. Mine has the grey interior but not sure it is original. My door-cards sure as hell aren't as they have a wood strip and an extra speaker with no cable!

LittleWill: spare injection pump?! They're like hens teeth!

Long story really but its there if anyone wants to cross my hand with beer tokens..
 
Pumps pretty good I believe. Not leaking the only reason for it's removal was when started the check engine light would flicker on and then go out when warm. Timing checked out fine but was swapped for a recon one.
 
Jumped in the car for the weekly 60Km shopping run, as usual it fired up immediately after the glowplug cycle, the engine then promptly stopped dead:confused: It took a hell of a lot of cranking to get it to fire again. All seemed well, but on our 30Km run to the shops there was a strong smell of diesel, it seems injector number 5 is leaking (yes 5 not 4), not sure where from yet but the leak off pipes look OK. I assume air getting in via the leak caused the engine to stop. So that's tomorrow's job:mad:

If the in tank pump and the engine are running air cannot possibly get into the injection pump from the spill pipes or the injection pipes.

Not trying to cause an argument but if feedpipe or spill pipe is leaking fuel out then when engine is off it will suck air in and cause an airlock in injector and a missfire. i know an intank pump feeds the ip. And so on but even any air in system would cause a missfire and an occasional cutout. mine did this with the filter casing sucking in air. Since thats been done 1 cycle of gplugs insted of 3

You are not causing an argument, but read carefully what i wrote. Did not mention feed pipe.
 
Binned the stupid useless led head light bulbs and fitted standard bulbs I can now see at night. Fixed the sun visor using a longer screw so the clip stays in place. Sorted the boot carpet that was coming away at the spare wheel cover. Hoovered her out then went for a spin

In tank pump is fine and the tank is three quarters full. Air in the system is the only thing I can think of that would have caused a stall with a lot of cranking needed to re-start.
Will be looking at it over the weekend, I'll re-check the in tank pump when I've sorted the leak, think it might be the injector pipe. Will also look and see if any faults are logged.

Just to round this off, one of my newish leak off pipes had decided to go porous:mad:
No faults logged on the EDC, modulation around 47% once warmed up, so all looks good.:)

Could well be a split injector pipe but air cannot get back into the pump from that. The delivery valve is in the way.
