    hahaha no worries mate, they made so many different variations of these, its no wonder people get confused :) In other news , my auto-electrician friend called me. Someone was passing by his shop and stopped as he saw my Disco outside. He asked if there were any parts needed for that car, as...

    Right, where to begin.... Firstly,the injection pump IS the electronic one. Its a BOSCH. Right. Got a mate with his Land Rover Diagnostics computer to have a final check before I bought the new pump. His computer would not connect to the ECU. Then I found that there were some blown...

    I have no idea guys, really ! Land Rovers arent my area of expertise... But when I went to this importer who offered me a brand new pump for a good price, he had 2 kinds there. One was the electronic and the other one the mechanical. I saw both of them and we both agreed that mine is...

    Wow !!!!! :what: So I'm guessing its an electronic pump that I have now and these are directions on how to make it mechanical ? Why would I do that ? Finding all these parts will be extremely hard , not to mention costly :(

    Guys, I seem to have mixed everyone up here :o From what the experts told me here in order to identify the car, its a disco 1 facelift, otherwise called a 300 Tdi ES. Its an automatic, which from what they told me automatically implies that its got the electronic fuel pump. Its my mistake...

    You missed the third paragraph as well ! :lol: My mate has the ECU diagnostics computer for Landys. My question is, would programming be a fault that could cause these symptoms ?

    Hi guys, found a brand new electronic injector pump - which was imported by mistake from a parts dealer and he is stuck with it. Been sitting on his shelves for a few years. Went by and had a look, its in its original box with nylon wraps and everything. He wants 400 Euros for it, just...

    Anyone knows how much a good second hand injector pump might cost ? Found a couple on ebay, but I wouldnt know if they would work or not, and obviously I cant return them if they dont.

    Re the timing belt, i cranked it with the solenoid completely off and it squirts as it cranks, so the pump is turning. I removed the pipes of the injectors completely after re installing the solenoid and no diesel comes through

    Back from a trip to UK. Thought it would be a good idea to see whats causing the diesel not coming to the injectors on the disco today. So this is what i establised: Diesel coming to the filter - yes Diesel going into the pump - yes Solenoid spring and end bit removed Cranking without the...

    I reinstalled the lift pump and the mechanical handle lost its spring. Removed it again and without having it bolted on i connected the feed hose from the tank. Worked the handle and i had fuel. Then reinstalled it and worked the handle at the very end of its movement a few times and i got...
