Just purchased a '96 ex military 300tdi and the cam belt broke within a few days.
A Land Rover garage was the nearest port of call and they have come back to me and said that cam belt damaged the fuel pump when it snapped. They reckon that there is play in the pulley bearing at the end of the pump. Along with replacing the belt, push rods and rockers they are quoting me around £2400 to repair it (£1300 for a new pump). This seems a bit steep but they have already charged £300 for the labour in diagnosing the problem.
I have had chaeper quotes elsewhere but the cost of moving it doesn't really save any money. Would I be better off getting a second hand pump and getting them to fit it or should I try and get it taken elsewhere?
