HI guys, just purchased a v reg p38 2.5 td.

Didn't know they had BMW engines in them.

Just got it home and have a lovely puddle of diesel on my drive. I've had a look and the injector pump
Is leaking from the top. I've had a search and feel I can rectify the problem myself.

Just need advise on where to get the seal kit from?

Any help apriciated

Cheers trev

You can get seal kits off the bay, or any Bosch dealer

Do a search here, there are many threads about this, pay particular attention to remarks about position of the top cover

If you do it yourself put some scribe marks on top and pump on every side to help reline the top and great care getting the pin and collar inside right.

+1 on that!!
If you end up doing it without the nanocom diagnostics,
It'll be as flat as hell as in performance or it'll splutter line a goodn' when it runs.. you can run the engine without the manifold on when setting the top cap... Just don't lose anything into the
Inlets!!!
