hi there,im looking for some advice.i have fitted a 2.5td engine out of an 89 defender to my series 3 and having some problembs,hope someone can help...
its been running fine for a year but recently on a long run on the motorway it picked up speed by itself,had more power than normal,had to backed of the throttle to nearly of before it changed speed,then it lost power had to give it full throttle to get it to go atall.it felt like a lincage inside pump was loose and only conecting know and then,if i stoped for half hour it drove normaly for 20miles or so.i replaced the injection pump but still playes up,not as bad,havent been on a long run yetwas told could be running on oil from turbo,looked at that has loads of slop in it but not much oil in pipe work,and if it was oil leaking from turbo backing of throttle wouldent slow engine as it does.
any help would be great,im taking the kids camping soon,dont want to breakdown on the way.
