    Sounds about right for the symptoms I have. I will remove the cat and try to start, hopefully this will solve the issue. I see that it still has its original exhaust system and it has done 310000 KM's. I did note that before I started it the first time there was a smoke coming from the exhaust...

    Just a note. It has previously allowed gas out, as stated before the engine has been running, it gradually lost power and with a lot of white smoke just stopped, after that it would not start again.Could this be an indication that there is a blockage somewhere in the exhaust itself?

    Hi V6. I will have to do a compression test on the cylinders. Valid point on the cat, I have thought there might be a blockage so when I get someone to crank the engine I close the exhaust by hand to see if there is any compression there, there is some but not much. It has been standing long so...

    I think I might have a bigger problem than just fuel pump timing. I bolted the starter back on, primed the engine with the priming bulb and tried to start the Freelander. She started after a couple of turns, rpm went up to 1000 rpm and then she stopped. I still have an excessive amount of whit...

    I have spent some time this weekend setting the timing on the fuel pump. It was not out by much but did follow the RAVE manual to set it perfectly. The process was as follows: 1. Set the engine to TDC where the number 1 cylinder was at the top and verified this with the markings on the cam...

    Looked at a 3 door K series petrol, too much work was required on this one engine and body wise, has been standing after a head gasket failure.

    She is good nick body and interior, there is quite a couple of 3 door L series in SA, did wash her but closed the electrics before I did, she ran after I washed the engine.

    Thank you for the photo, that confirms that the connections are correct, the leak back hoses are connected to the pump to feedback to the tank. Yes the fuel pump is the same model as that on the freelander. Still waiting for my service kit for the starter so not much happening besides cleaning...

    Sorry discard my last regarding the plenum chamber.

    Hi GrumpyGel. Thank you. I do not have a plenum chamber installed. If you look at the fuel pump from the front you have 4 connectors. Mine is connected as follows Top right is Injector 1 Top Left is Injector 2 Bottom Right is Injector 3 Bottom Left is Injector 4

    Can someone supply me a picture of the injection pump displaying which injector is connected to which port on the pump. I just want to make sure that I have connected them correctly after the pump replacement.

    @V6I performed the test by loosening the injector pipes on the injectors and turned the engine slightly and then pumping the priming bulb to see if there is fuel coming from the pipes. @GrumpyGel I removed the belt that was on and took it as a sample to get a replacement one, not sure on the...

    Just out of interest, when I test to see if there is diesel being delivered to the injectors, I see that injectors 1 and 4 and 2 and 3 gets diesel together, is this correct?

    Thanks. I will check this again. the belt is brand new as I replaced it following the instructions. I am awaiting the delivery of the starter parts from the UK as this might take some time due to the SA post system taking its time to release imported stuff.

    I do have the rave manual for the freelander. Thanks for the information regarding CKP's working. Can you advise on a system that will be able to read the faults of the ECM that can be bought for home use?

    All the injectors are brand new and the pump is new as well, I ran it on 3 year old diesel before it just died, decided to take them out and clean them when I found that the wiring on number one was not good and the number 3 injector was seized in the head and took some effort to remove. I...
