Fairhaven's latest activity

Not really. Based on the amount of gunge I got out of them and the state of the nozzles I am quite optimistic that there will be an improvement.

Injectors rebuilt. Just waiting for new sealing washers and will see what difference that makes.

Right, after nearly a month out of action with flu I am back on it. Pump back in and pleased to find it started first time. Whilst I had the top off I noted that everything inside the pump was really clean and fresh looking. I checked the pump...

Get well soon, lot of that going around at the moment.

No I’ve been laid up with flu. But will be back on it as soon as I am up and about.

Quick update, pump throttle bush and o ring changed so that should stop the leaking. This is involves taking out the fuel volume screw so I deceded to measure the length from lock nut to tip. I believe factory spec is 39mm plus or minus 1/10...

Okay thanks Eldon

Hello further to my introduction earlier here is the problem I have with my 200tdi engine. It starts on the button without any glow plug it runs smoothly with very little smoke. Then when it is warm it starts chucking out clouds of white smoke...

Thanks ER1C. Mine still has the shackles attached to the chassis to allow it to be hung under a helicopter. I'll post about the specific issue I have later this afternoon.
