not sure what the 4 cylinder pumps are mate , i am a v8 man. I found the old facet type pumps made by bearmach on lr direct for £20.
if it is the facet type it comes on a pair or rubber mounts which may well ba knackered and they have a funny thread so I would get the nuts and washers too. its all only a couple of pounds.
dont ignore the spark question though, you need to know if thats what keeps failing. each time it dies see if you can get a good blue spark if not it could be the amp as the others say , if you have one . the coils are also known to barstools like this
The AA guy did check the spark when it was broken down. He came to the conclusion he didn't know what it was, and thats what he put in the paper he gave me after towing me home. All he moaned about was his clutch smoking when he towed me up a steep hill with his van, he was useless. It seems these days if they haven't got a PC to plug you into they cant be bothered, or haven't got a clue! If it was the spark, I would of thought he would of said for sure, as it would have been obvious wouldn't it? as he did test it while I was broken down.
I'm going on holiday tomorrow, and going to a' landy' swapmeet while I'm away at beaulea (can never spell that word! lol) so what I think I'll do is replace all the bits that it could be anyway,thats been mentioned. that way at least I'll know what I have on there is new, and then keep the old stuff as spares just to be sure.
Thinking about it, I think I'm going to keep my V8 as it's only done 20,000, and I love it; and get a gas conversion as a compromise. that'll only set me back £1,200 odd, as to £2,000 odd for a 200tdi. And I have an LPG garage in Dover. Then maybe I can ditch my modern, but very boring, very reliable low mileage citroen C5, and use the landy as my daily driver, as well as afford to go on more greenlane trips with only 1 car to run. Sonds like a plan to me, what do they say? 'it's a landrover thing, you wouldn't understand'.
But seriously though, thank you, and everyone else for all your help in pointing me to the possible problems it can be, at least it's not serious, just one of those annoying things.
Oh one last thing incase some didn't realize, even on the rover sd1 v8 engine, you DON'T need to use lead suppliments. I got that from 'liverage' incase people are using it thinking they have too, as it's getting harder to get hold of now, not to mention expensive!
