Thanks for your help Stanley, I managed to turn the starter until it found the spot, and its all plumbed in now. By eck it makes a difference !

Yeah I just meant turning the engine over to get a good spot, but your idea probably would have been better. All on now and its going like the bloody clappers, that old pump must have been utterly asthmatic

PS this may help others https://forums.lr4x4.com/topic/23135-300tdi-lift-pump-change/ (Apologies for using an alternative forum, google found it for me :) )

Im fitting my new one, but its proving very hard whereever I seem to put the cam, Im not even sure the bolts will meet the holes. I dont want to force it, or should it be quite hard?

OK got the new delphi pump, old one taken off and indeed upon testing it manually via the lever in my hand there seems to be no pressure, and the new one does. However the new one is a bitch to fit, turned the cam a few times but it doesnt seem to want to fit, I know in the thread above, that it...

Cheers Stanley

Yes, thats exactly what I did, and it took ages for the fuel to bubble out the top, does this indocate the filter is empty? I have a one way valve fitted further forward after the filter. I had a new Britpart fuel pump futted a year or so ago to try and fix cold starting issues, I wasnt...

Ok yesterday I drained the fuel filter and no water came out, just diesel. When I revved the engine it took ages for fuel to come out of the bleeder nut on top, far longer than i thought was required as I only let a bit of fuel out the bottom. When fully filled it seemed to run far better and...

No, but a good call, and sedimenter

Agreed, its odd that it only uphill. I know the sender is OK as I checked it when diagnosing cold starting issues. I guess the best bet is to see if there is bubbles in some clear pipe i put in the fuel line before doing anything else?

Sounds like this is similar to my issue. Should i empty the tank prior to filling it up, otherwise it will just happen again when its down to a tenner

Hi, The old girl has started spluttering and complaining whenever I go up a hill above say 10 degrees. I can smell unburnt fuel and see white smoke, but on the flat she seems relativley happy (although after spluttering on the hill, she is a bit underpowered like on 3 cyclinders or something)...

It now seems to remain cold, but due to other issues (spluttery performance under strain) I wont take it far now

Thankyou, yep thats the one I redrilled, was just a wee spot weld that snapped. (Your engine bay is pactory fresh, thats amazing!)

Cheers, The P clip isnt terminated to anything at the moment and I cant see any obvious place it used to be. It was runnng ok but Saturday for about 40 miles, but it began running like an absolute dog on the way back and up hills. (Smell of unburnt fuel like a just started BBQ) Stop and it...

Ive been having various issues relating to starting etc (and a new intermittent power loss one which is annoying) having checked a few thing I have noticed a P clip from the negative cable around 8 inches from the battery terminal is connected to a thin wire, but also looks like at some point it...

Yeah should be enough to see if the squeak goes

What would be the issue with that? I don't want to do any more damage

New belt is fine, just the ongoing issues that need some thought
