Still doesn't help me find any info......Guessing doesn't help....there's nowhere any record that I can find that explains an 'E' and how to get the info

No idea, both purchased in Spain

Hi All, I think I've asked before but cant find my post....... I now have 2 Land Rover engines, one a 2.5na and the other a 2,25 my question is regarding the engine numbers to be able to gain some info (age etc)....both engine numbers begin with E for example the 2,25 is E46558031 There are...

Ok guys, I have been tinkering - for want of anything else to do!! Checked everything ...again...and all good. Got new fuel and filtered it twice and put in clean glass container so cannot have contamination there. All timing marks checked and all in 'correct' positions. Will start after a...

Once it starts it's pretty much constant white smoke It pretty much needs to be revved to keep running if I let off the accelerator it winds down and stops - that why I think that the pump timing is off a bit....the smoke seems to be constant regardless of revving

Once it starts it's pretty much constant white smoke

Ok injectors new....fuel clean and pre filtered....fuel pump??? Timing set with special tool as per manual....so don't know what next step is....

Yes got that but why am I getting it??

Hi all, Well I couldn't resist having one last go..... Checked everything....again! Well eventually it started! I did have it on full throttle for a few seconds but when I reduced the throttle it wouldn't self sustain....it started again after a couple of seconds cranking but will only run on...

Thanks Steve but I went through everything so many times it was impossible for me to be 180 out as I did rotate (just in case) I don't have problems with pumps as fuel shooting at least 4 feet from injector pipes and a good 1 foot spray from injectors....I have a problem but don't know what it...

This one is 2.5 diesel and should be sooooo simple.

Yes I did the pump timing with the pin in the side and the arrow lined up with the mark. I have done the timing several times with several methods and I'm now sick to death of it. I'm not doing any more to it for a while....if you've been to the begining of the thread you'll know I've been going...

I live in spain...you're welcome to drop in for tea!! Unfortunately there were millions of santana built here but so little by the way of forums, parts, mechanics etc. Spain has very little in second hand motors...especially for modification as it is not allowed here!! Cheers

Yes everything on the list ticked.... All point to defective pump which is wierd as its the only thing on the engine I haven't messed with. Will start saving and see what santa brings...no idea how much a replacement pump is.... Cheers

Ok. I am about at the point of giving up on this engine.....haven't made any progress in weeks. Will just save up and buy a running engine...I've spent long enough on it. Thanks for the pointers. Steve
