OK thanks.

OK so I would just have to swap pump over as injectors are interchangeable from my recent findings. Cheers

Still chasing this but can anyone tell me if a 2007 disco 3 engine will drop straight into my 2006 one or are fuel pumps and other bits different. It's only because I am thinking of rebuilding the engine in another scrap disco I have and then putting it in my nicer one. Cheers

It's a sad day it seems.... thought we were nearly there 😔 hi buddy got those injectors in and it started really well considering we remove fuel line but it was only firing 5 and half cylinders . so cylinder 4 and 6 had miss fire . cylinder 4 now firing but six not 100% new fault code of...

Perfect, thanks for that. Just ordered them on Amazon for delivery tomorrow 😁

Yeah I would be inclined to agree. Luckily I have a specialist Disco scrap yard only a few miles away from my house... "Gentlemen of Salvage" very usefull, so if I need more I can just grab them.

OK so we have finally got the pump swapped over and it runs 😁 but it seems two injectors are down now too. So will grab a couple of second hand ones on Monday and see where we get to. Getting close anyway.

Blimey, ok that'll be why they asked me to get the pump then. Ok thanks.

Yeah he said should be around 250bar on cranking and around 1000 at full throttle. Any idea if there's a changeable valve that is accesable or is it whole pump?

Well fingers crossed, new (to me) pump and belt, while he's at it, will sort it.🤞

So the garage have just had a look at it and said the fuel presure is way too high so engine is shutting down. Its over 1000bar on cranking. He reckons its a fuel suction control valve. Luckily my friend breaks these and has a complete pump from a knocky engine so going to drop that over and...

Ooo it worked, I'll find some more. And yes my trailer was screaming, but it was less than a mile to the other side of the village 🤣

Ha, yes I'm the same. I have a 1979 VW pickup with a BMW 4.8 V8 mid mounted and did all the wiring for that, which I actually enjoyed. I'll try and work out how to.put some pics up.

Yeah shame but thanks. I only have Snap On Ethos as I restore classics so only really have it for my own cars.
