Had a leak under the bonnet, just had it checked out by the garage and he confirmed it as a leak in the fuel injection system.

I have a 300 TD engine with over 100,000 miles and he says it needs to be removed and overhauled. I asked him on the all-in price for such a fix and he reckons it could be £300 - £400!!!!

Wowzers!

Anyone got a second opinion on this? Do seals on these things commonly go after 100,000 miles on a fifteen year old lannie?

Fuel injection pump!

The garage I've just put it into have given me an estimate of £1000!!! as the price to get it serviced and overhauled etc!

I told them to ram it and I might as well get a new one for that silly amount!

Looking on ebay they seem to be a lot cheaper.

Anyone got any advice?

OK so the leak is from the injector pump.

Where exactly is it?

Is it on one of the pipe unions or elsewhere?

If it's one of the unions, have you tried nipping it up?

Is there a diesel service company anywhere near you?

Can you get the pump off?

The list goes on, but a bit more detail would be welcome ... and some pics!

Leak is from the main pump itself on the underneath bit. Ordered one for £300 on fleabay.
