Had a similar problem with mine - couldn't seem to get it bleed cleanly using through the clutch pedal. Was a down facing slope so maybe air was getting trapped in the slave. Got a Gunsons ezibleed kit from screwfix and it did the job in about a minute. Used pressure from an old spare wheel -...

Hi POS, Am in the same boat, I contacted this guy- http://www.forum-auto.com/pole-technique/s...sujet293129.htm He quoted me £195 - 395 plus VAT depending on what was wrong - still alot cheaper than a new pump. Also found this - looks really good but is not quite the same as the Tdi pump but...

Sorry been away for a few days - I can get diesel to the fuel filter, if I slacken the bleed screw, I can also get fuel to the inlet on the injection pump - and to the drain on the back of the pump. When the engine is cranked no fuel gets to the injectors - so must be returning directly via the...

Fair point - it was a gamble - engine was in really good nick only needed a hone and new bearings - never saw it running. It did start for about a second then stopped. Gut feeling is a blockage as the engine was sitting around for a year before I rebuilt it and god knows how long before that...

Hi Thanks for that - there is power to the solenoid - it clicks when I touch the wire to the terminal. I have loosened the feed pipe and fuel is getting to the pump, but I cant get fuel to the outlets at the rear - Thanks for the manual - I have it but it only deals with removing and refitting...

Hi Just put a 200Tdi into Ted. Stripped it down and rebuilt, got it in - tried to start it and it ran for about 3 seconds:) and wont start again:mad:. Fuel is getting to the injection pump, but I cant get fuel to the injectors. Have replaced the fuel solenoid but still no good. Is there anything...

Hi, Am looking to bolt 200Tdi disco engine to old 2.5NA clutch housing - but the 4 bolts on the ladder frame are missing on the 2.5NA. Is it OK to bolt up and forget the 4 bolts or do I have to drill and tap the old disco cover to fit - does it matter - it would be easier to just bolt up the...

Thats what I have removed but it still wont split?

Hi, Does anyone know how many studs hold the bellhousing onto the gearbox? I have removed everything I can find, including the 2 hidden below the starter motor and all the top ones and the engine will not split. I have removed half of the studs as well but it still wont budge - is there a...

Thanks for that - makes sense - I have no disco pipe - but will see if I can find a fitting from an old pipe to match the pump union then I can extend the old pipe.

Hi, Just a quick question - fitting a disco 200Tdi into a 2.5NA - the power steering pump on the disco has a screw in thread (high pressure) and the 2.5 has a banjo joint so I need a new pipe. Which PAS pipe will fit as a replacement as the pump is also higher up - disco or defender pipe? Thanks

Since the cold and rain disappeared my ammeter has been reading right over on the right hand side (charging), suddenly it started to sit just the wrong side of zero (discharging) even at revs. The battery warning light does not come on even pre ignition (diesel).Wiring looks ok, and alternator...

Thanks for that, The price was from Rimmer Bros and they specified the set as genuine - £115 for the bottom end and £99 for the top -crazy prices.

In the process of stripping down a 200Tdi engine. Looked at the prices for top and bottom genuine gasket sets and probably looking at £200 plus :eek:. Aftermarket sets are so much cheaper - £50. Is there really that much of a difference - intend to use a genuine head gasket - see Glencoyne do a...
