Duly noted and much appreciated:)

Thanks James, I really appreciate that, but as Im in South Wales and you're in Louth and I want to try and take the thing out this Sunday and my only means of transport is a Defender with a badly leaking fuel pump I think Im going to have to bite the bullet and...I hate this word....buy one:mad...

Top man:D

Ok, I know where the leak is from and how to repair but Im a little perplexed. I have the huge land rover manual (about 2000 pages) its telling me how to remove the pump, setting engine at TDC blah blah but there is one thing Im unsure of, in the manual it states this job requires 3 specialist...

Pump gear retaining tool LST 129/1......If you dont know what its for James, perhaps I dont need it:bounce:

Thanks Trewey. I have heard they are good for the timing pin, do you not bother with the gear retaining tool?

Im after an engine timing kit for a 200tdi specifically the fuel injection pump gear retaining tool....for either nothing or very cheap:D or if someone has the correct dimensions so I can make one myself. I know its cheeky but if ya dont ask ya dont get:)

Just make them yourself, couple of lengths of angle iron and a few hefty bolts, bobs your uncle and your dad:D

My defender 200tdi is leaking diesel from the injector pump, looks as though its leaking from a gasket at the point where the castings are mated (around the area of the fuel cut off solenoid). Is it possible to split the pump and change the gasket or is it a new injector job? Any help...

Well it was worth a try:o Good luck with the Freelander!

Its only got 72000 miles on the clock and a full service history, he thinks because its a 200tdi it will sell, my mate offered him £5000, he just laughed so I think hes confident it will go. My advice to you is don't buy a Freelander, how about a nice Disco 2 V8 with a high lift cam and 2...

There is a Land Rover dealer in Devon selling an L plate 90 for £8000 which is over the top but hes confident he'll shift it. I would say between 5/6k would be a fair price for yours but you may get more, you may get less but I wouldn't take less than 5k.

Aren't those number plates illegal:confused:

Picked my 22 year old Defender 90 200tdi for £1700, I found it in the back of the farmers Guardian. The engine is in great condition as is the chassis and bulkhead. Only thing wrong with it really is the paintwork which is crap but I dont care about paintwork. In the 3 years Ive had her had a...

He went down to see the Fears with his mate and a baseball/cricket bat and the Fears payed up. Simple:D

Sounds about right :D

You keep your Landy in France?

Why don't you just sell the chassis without the I.D :confused:
