ye might find the part numbers ye're lookin' for.
And welcome tae the mad hoose

Thanks for your reply Bustersbus, I know the parts that I want just can’t find anywhere that I can get them, I think that they want me to send the Injection pump to them and get charged a fortune for them to do the job, the job can be done without taken the Injection pump off the engine

just a thought, but have you tried googlin' the parts?

I am in Shropshire, got the parts that I need have another read up on it before I decided what I am going to do, I have got step by step Images plus instructions how to do it, thanks all for your help Busterbus

Craddocks itsnt so far from you, you might want to try visiting their surplus section (round the back of the main shop) - they have piles of "stuff" there

try power washing the whole Thing

mine leaked bad, just dripping out, so i power washed the thing and the engine, it so it would be clean when someone I knew was going to look at it for me.

When i turned up at his house, the leak had stopped, not leaked since.

Maybe a bit of dirt in the top seal ?

I have not power washed it but I have just had a another look at it and it had stopped leaking it must have been a bit of dirt sum ware, I hope that it stays like that, will give it a run later on

The leak is because fuel inside the whole pump is at fuel lift pump pressure.

The throttle leven spindle is sealed by a tiny O-ring, and that alone costs a penny, and can be renewed.

The top cover of the pump has to be lifted to do this job, but it isn't difficult.

There's another thread yesterday about this very job.

Here is what I wrote for the other leaking pump spindle:

I fitted a new O-Ring to my NA pump myself.

It isn't difficult, but it needs a lot of care.

The whole innards of the pump are under a little pressure from the fuel lift pump so it does leak steadily when the O-ring goes.

Wash the pump VERY CLEAN ..... it must be utterly crud free!

As I recall, the trick is to get the throttle lever off the spindle first, and this needs to be done WITHOUT disturbing the settings of the multi-part lever.

Then it is possible to undo the screws holding down the top cover, and as you lift the lid up, you can feed the throttle spindle down VERY CAREFULLY. Common sense will tell you what all bits you need to undo the get the pump lid clean off the body of the pump. The two levers (Throttle and tickover) are connected to springs , so you need to be careful!

Once the lid is off, the o-ring is perfectly accessible, and can be replaced with one from any 0-ring kit.

Then you head back to the pump, hook on the springs, feed the spindle back up the hole and carefully through the new o-ring, and screw the lid down neatly onto its rubber seating gasket.

Bleed it ... job done. Cost 1p for an o-ring, and maybe an hour or two if you take plenty time. Saving .... hundreds of pounds probably.

If you were anywhere near here I would do it for you if you whip the pump off, but really, taking the pump off is NOT required, if you know how to be careful. NO hammers are needed for this job, so that rules out most conventional LandRover repairs experts and methods!

Thanks for the info CharlesY , I went for a long ride tonight and the pump has stopped leaking, I will keep the info on the O-Ring in case I need it in the future[

Thanks for the info CharlesY , I went for a long ride last night and the pump has stopped leaking, I will keep the info on the O-Ring in case I need it in the future, had a nother look this morning and everything is still OK

The parts that I managed to get came to day (new shaft and the brass bush) but I don’t need them to now, its stopped leaking now and I have done over 100 miles to make sure and its OK, it must have been a bit of dirt that came up between the shaft and the bush and got behind the O Ring at the top of the shaft then cleared its self, I will have to change the fuel filter now to make sure that nothing else gets through
