Need someone to change my fuel injector pump.

I think my fuel injector pump is on its way out so after someone who could fit a new 1 for me and set the timing up in the north west region.

If it's a TDI, i would suggest you'd do it yourself. Not a difficult job at all.

Just watched that. Good video. Should help Danny change his pump as apposed to taking it to a garage.

You're only saying that coz you know I'm only going as far as Hebden Bridge, and nowhere near Donny

Pump change should take no longer than an hour, including tea break!

Cheers pal.

unless you have one theres one on the bay Landrover Defender/Discovery 300 Tdi Fuel Injection Pump | eBay

Have you already got your replacement pump? 300's have one of three different pump types installed depending on the age of the vehicle. Fully mechanical VE pumps for the earlier 300tdi and then part electronic (EDC) or fly-by-wire VE pumps for the later 300tdi. There are ways of working around different setups but check what you've got first. You can buy a kit that holds the pump gear in place via the injection pump inspection cover on the front of the timing cover - no need to strip the timing cover down.

Great video. Hope that's a job I never have to do, but I never knew you could change the pump with the timing case in situ. That box of specalist tools he was using looked bloody expensive mind! Still the lockoff tool looked simple enough to make, so no doubt they will be available cheaply on the bay.

Slight hijack but related question for those familiar with the 200 TDI pump. I noticed the throttle bracket on mine is askew by about 15 degrees. Having only seen one pump, I thought this was by design, Is it meant to be like this? It's hard to tell, but the one in this video looks straight.

I'm wondering if this is the cause of my ongoing throttle cable problems.

I suspect it's either been used to lift the engine, or it's been bent during engine removal

It looks like it detaches from the pump, so if it's supposed to be straight, I'll take it off and get some heat into it and see what I can do. I thought it best not to take a torch to it in situ or start beating the crap out of it whilst it was attached to the pump

Hopefully I have sorted it out as I think it was a split in the fuel pipe.

You sure about that?
I thought there was only 2 versions on the 300
early mech type and the auto edc version approx 96 on
All are Bosch VE versions with the odd add on for egr and stop solenoid security protection but thats it.
EDC= electronic diesel control which is fly by wire

I've come across three different types although strictly only two variants were used on the Defender (unless they've had an auto conversion). The earlier ones were simple mechanical pumps with a throttle cable and no more than a 12V feed to the stop solenoid, slightly later models with EGR have a throttle cable and the EDC module as well as one injector (number 4) with a potentiometer. Discoveries with auto transmission have a third variant of the VE with EDC and no throttle cable.

Not sure if I've ever seen a Defender with a potentiometer injector actually???

-Tom

Not seen one with a throttle cable and edc, are you thinking of the auto which has extra cables for the kickdown?
Ive always wondered did they do edc on a manual, as Ive only seen it on autos

I would much rather strip down the timing case. it just takes an hour to do (including radiator removal). It's less fiddly.
