Well, the change over unit is on and running for about a week,and Lordy,Lordy....no oil leaks YET! As i have said previously, I cant find out what was replaced,the only visible sign of entry is the new grub screws that are tapped and placed around the casing.We can but hope,Regards.......AL

G'Day,I'm back.After a bit of a look around,i found a place that either reconditions vacuum pumps or gets someone to do them .I couldn"t get that out of them.However,as i said in a previous post, new $395au....Recon $225au.Bit of difference? If you are interested,their web site is Triumph...

OK Jim,Am going down to Adelaide for a week (work) see what i can dig up,talk to you next weekend,Regards AL

Yea,G,Day Jim.We had thought of your suggestion,also the collusion between LR and Wabco(perish the thought) Will try and find a substitute one way or another.BTW what is the worst scenario if we keep driving the vehicle as is? Run out of brakes etc.etc. .........AL`

We have a 1996 LandRover TDI.The vacuum bump on the block is leaking oil again.This will be the second time i have replaced it in 180000 Miles.The unit costs about $4oo Aus.Is there any way of repairing this unit,or do i trek off to bendix westinghouse and part with my hard earned dosh...

You lot think your hard done by...its going to be bloody 40 degrees here in South OZ today,Regards..........Al

Done !

Although this is not specific to Land Rovers, is there a rule of thumb as to the PSI required for a comfortable ride in conventional cars.(hope i have posted in correct section) Regards Al

Jim Attrill,I am interasted in your comments,but cant activate your site.Regards Al

For what its worth,our 1996 tdi although far from reliable still has great MPG.In the region of 30 to 32 mpg,or about 11 k's to a litre in Aus...Regards Al

G'Day all.I am a 62 year old gent with a TDI .Have been watching the cricket,should be a good match???? Hoppefully there will be a third in Adelaide.OK,will see you in the forums,Regards AL
