Think you need to start your own "fuel pump tweaking" thread mate....................

ha ha ha
the spindle never really turns much,i suppose the bush rotation could become maintenance on a yearly basis,it would possibly last 3 times as long....
then yer would have more time to tune up the pump lol...

Ok managed to get chance to have a catch up on the posts. Just about to go through the links etc.
The motor sounds sweet but has sat out on a drive for a good while before I bought the Defender partially stripped, If I can actually get the thing running without ****ing diesel out, then I can check that it gets up to temperature and pulls ok. I have been a quick drive but then found the original leak.
My intercooler is pretty tatty TBH a lot of the fins are bent over, so I have tweeked them back, but then it was lying in the back when I towed it home. The motor has done about 180,000 so once it is running properly I can tune away, what is the intercooler secret:confused2:

Clean it out using petrol or white spirit - make sure its dry before refitting
If its in a bad way get it recored at a rad place

well,
you could fit a thermostat..
test it and keep the gas below 650degrees,most turbos run up to about 700 but just back it down a bit if its too hot...
you could fit a pimp turbo to take the heat but......
so best under 650 degrees would be suitable as mines ok.

Ok. Pump spindle repair kit fitted today. Ordered from eBay from a helpful chap who gave me the link to his DIY website instructions. Not too bad a job really.
And it appears to have stopped the leaks, but there is a load of diesel sitting on top of the axle which needs cleaning up to be sure.
Fingers crossed I can get on with some fun stuff now.
