Mmmm good advice, I suspect the seller will just ignore me.

New "pattern" pump looks like this: A replacement used pump from Germany (it was reasonably priced): My test rig: Some yuk: Results of using the 60 second Webasto 'Fuel Prime': New pump transfers 24 to 25cc Old pump transfers 20 to 23cc So not quite an exact match, I would expect the...

Heres the k-line interface I knocked up: And a close up of the PCB: I also bought a used FBH off the 'bay and will try powering it up to test the dosing pump I have. If it is just a PCB failure on the old unit, I think I will be able to resolder it and make it good (fingers crossed). I did...

I ordered one of the pumps of Fleabay, which is the same seller as Arctic2 found. They were very helpful, and put it in the post 1st class at 4.15pm . I have high hopes it will arrive tomorrow. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/171315696325

Drivers side rear arch liner removed: Reveals the rusty thingy: Check the number: Take off the pipes and ...oh dear it fell apart. One step forward, two steps back. I found the pump, but it fell to bits as I tried to remove the hoses. The clamps to the hoses were corroded to dust, and...

I was going to test my dosing pump today, but I can;t find anything about where it lives in the manuals. The ticking noise seems to come from the passenger wheel well - anybody have any photos of it ? I could find nothing on google. PS. Just removed the passenger side rear wheel arch liner - no...

My current theory is that since the silly rubber cap scrapes the firewall, debris gets into the master cylinder if opened (Even if you use a bit of cardboard as a shield). I cannot see how a quick coupling can totally avoid an air bubble (or grit for that matter), which will eventially work its...

My previous cars were TVRs and Alfas, all rear wheel drive. The freelander TD4 gets the best MPG of any car I have ever owned - by 20% . Currently averaging 36MPG over a year of fuel. Also, as I am getting on a bit, and there is a headlight brightness arms race going on in our area, the extra...

Hi NeedleNose, Yes, of course a space heater is probably cheaper, but ... I have a dehumidifier running 24/7 to stop the machine tools I have going rusty, the bedways and tables go brown overnight if the air is damp, and I didn't want a heater that produced water, so I figured a Webasto with the...

My clutch has a low bite also. But I have many problems. First off the P.O. had not installed the master cylinder correctly, and it was a bit floppy in the firewall, as the grommet had been placed on the wrong side. I fixed that, and I got an extra 1cm of pedal travel, so it is like 2cm off the...

I've seen plenty of eBay listings for the 89372. Often they are used ones from Hungry or Latvia, for about £20. I think I may buy a complete spare set-up as I'd like something simple to warm the Garage up if I'm out there working.

According to the "Disco_3_FBH_Workshop_Manual_Thermo_Top_V.pdf" I have, page 35 has a warning about not interchanging DP40 and DP41 types or fuel leakage will occur. There is also some flow data for the pumps at various metering frequencies, although the flow data does not state at what...

Another update. I removed the F5 fuse, waited for 10 seconds and reinstalled it. Started the engine and then connected the laptop as before. Now I can see the FBH going through its start-up sequence. The webasto software allows you to make a log of the various readings, however the software...

Hi Arctic2, I have a hunch I need a doser too, as my FBH no longer even makes the nice smoke it used to. I suspect that the dosr pump is broken now, in addition to the FBH needing a de-coke. -Hazel

Wow, has it really been a whole year since I last played with the FBH? Well, I made some progress today, I managed to build a K-line interface, and got it to talk to my FBH using the Webasto software on a laptop. You simply connect to the Diagnostic K-bus connector, and turn on the ignition...

2004 TD4 5 door, with a mixture of commuting and motorway driving. Readings taken from full tank to full tank, I now have two data points: 37.6mpg and 37.8mpg or 14p/mile pretty good really for a massive heavy 4x4 ;) -Hazel

About 40% town driving, 50% motorway and 10% bumpy track. The next tank is likely to be entirely commuting - a paultry 9 miles each way.

Well, I'd settle for one in 4130 , that's almost stainless...

I use "daemon Lite" CDROM emulator, never had any problems with it, was easy to install and use, and it runs the Rave .ISO perfectly. I just need to find a Rave .iso that covers the face lift freebie now :)

I did my second fill-up today, so I have my first data point. Full tank to full tank 491 miles, 59.4 Liters giving 37.2 MPG at 14p per mile which is not far off the advertised 36.7 mpg, and 20% better than my last car! Not bad since for over half the miles the thermostat was stuck at 1/4. I...
