The two pumps are almost identical in terms of fitment - pulleys etc are the same, and interchangeable. I just took my EDC system off - cos it was (very) broken, and fitted a mechanical pump in its place. Reason being, parts availability is very poor - the needle lift sensor in number four injector is NLA. So, please be aware that if or when this dies, you have something of an issue.....
And I am not trying to be a harbinger of doom - just being realistic

aye i intend to replace it with a manual one in the long term, (ive seen all the how too's) but in the short term i bought her this disco as her l200 runs out of mot next week and she needs a car to get about in. As the EDC pump is peeing diesel out the back of it it seems logical to just get it replaced and up and running and sorting out the manual stuff later

well thats the pump replaced, its the first time i have worked "properly" on a diesel so i was a little apprehensive but actually with the proper timing pin kit and locking set it was pretty easy (if a little fiddly)
diesel is no longer leaking which has to be a good thing, also found the leak off from the injectors had snapped so i have sorted that.
Rather worryingly there was a LARGE amount of aluminium swarf when the cover to the fuel pump pulley was removed.
HOWEVER
it still wont start ... the new pumps fuel stop solenoid is busted, ive also found the one on the old pump is busted....
which is probably why it never started before and the diesel leak on the pump was just "another" problem
DOH! I had put 12v to the old one and heard it click so thought it was ok, after trying to rob it for the replacement pump i found the plunger was no longer attached and so was effectively failed in the off position. how annoying
Just off to DA autoparts who are open to late this afternoon who reckon they have one. I am going to get this sodding car running today!!!!

If you are sure the solenoid is opening??Loosen injection pump inlet banjo and with ignition on-pump lift pump to prime fuel to injection pump-retighten banjo.Then loosen return line banjo(back of pump)and pump again until diesel flows.... this way you should have diesel all the way through the injection pump.Now loosen injectors and crank over on battery to make sure diesel is getting to injectors.?Tighten everything up.crank over and she should fire if timing is alright.I would guess you are just playing with airlocks at mo

that bloody edc was doing my tree in. Im thinking i should have just converted it to a manual pump.
Never mind!
I dont really want to break the poor green un as its still got plenty of mot and its in really nice condition! but it is worth more to for just a few of the bits than what i paid for the whole she bang!
