Just bits of metal and rubber, take photos as you go and watch a few videos beforehand. Easy enough if you go steady. I used https://injectionpumps.co.uk/ for parts.

Thanks for the words of encouragement :rolleyes: Pump back together this afternoon after a few hours of fiddling and running as before. Leak gone, just need to set the pump timing again, I didn't mark the position before because it needed doing then too. Steve, that's the video I used as a...

Leaking from the o-ring on the pump head. I've sent my spare pump off for refurbishment but in the mean time I thought I'd whip off the original and give it a go myself. £55 quid ish for a rebuild kit and 1hr to remove and strip.

I was just being facetious, you do whatever you want to do as its your vehicle. Just because it's completely illegal to be claiming tax and mot exemption doesn't mean you shouldn't be doing it :rolleyes:.

So which bits are Series 2?

I'm after some shims to set the preload on my front diff pinion bearings. Think they're the same for discovery/defender/series, just metric or imperial. Anyone got any laying around?

Afternoon all, Today's job is rebuilding the front diff after I discovered a lot of play in the pinion bearing. I've got as far as driving in the new races etc but the original shims give me way too much preload. Does anyone have a selection of shims for the front Rover type diff and ideally...

I've ordered a rebuild kit for my pump, DPA 3249F750 from injectionpumps.co.uk for around £50. That includes the rebuild kit, gaskets, seals etc, two vanes and the pump liner. Handy interactive parts diagram here... https://injectionpumps.co.uk/interactive/interactive-cav-dpa-parts-diagram.htm...

I've got no door seals and just a bikini top so everything gets wet in mine. I realise now looking at the photos it looks like carpet... They're the outdoor door mats you'd often have by your back door rather than carpet. So hopefully water retention won't be too bad.

The o ring this chap is pointing to is looking most likely, I can't see it being from that union to cylinder 4.

From watching a couple of videos it looks like it's maybe leaking from between the pump head and main body. Can this be fixed in situ?

Afternoon all, Noticed a diesel leak when I recently parked up, dribbling down the side of the block, clearly from the injection pump. Bit of a clean up and it's coming from the side that faces the bulkhead, a dribble rather than a squirt. Removed the injection pipe to cylinder 4, then...

Afternoon all, Decided to cover up my new floor panels with something because they just look out of place. Not a fan of the rubber floor mats, wanted something that fits the look of my Landy (patina is the nice way of putting it). Before and after... Not carpet but outdoor doormats. About...

No experience with them, but make sure you fit replacement units rather than just LED bulbs to avoid an MOT fail.

I have a feeling the Top Gear Botswana special was recently replaced on Dave...

Are you actually going to buy a Series?

You haven't considered how long it's left standing on the driveway leaking fuel between journeys. Or how much leaks out of the filler hose onto the driver seat when filling up.

Absolutely no idea, I'm still trying to figure out how to get the instant mpg readout on my dash.

Gearbox all seems okay, clearly some new parts of the outside but can't tell anything internal. Just finished fitting it and quick test drive seems like it's good. No leaks, smooth changes and doesn't pop out of any gears. Unfortunately even though the gearbox seems okay, I've still been...

11th April, he answered his phone at last and told me my gearbox has been collected from the wrong customers address and will be sent Tuesday to arrive Wednesday. All too familiar words... would apparently send me the tracking information later that day. No tracking into received. 12th April...
