That is all I put back. No idea what the black on was. Was much harder material than the green one. But doesn’t seem to be leaking anymore! Now just need to sort the alternator.

My alternator seems to have failed. My rev counter is no longer retreating the dash battery warning light is permanently lit. However my volt metre (just the standard Land Rover so not an irate) show increased voltage when the engine is...

Well sickening the belt has not made a difference. On some closer inspection now the injector pump leak is solved and I can run the engine without dumping diesel everywhere the dash charge light does get dimmer with revs but does not go out. And...

That may well be the case as it seems to have fixed the leak just replacing the o-ring and putting the cover back on. Without the black seal. The test drive home will confirm.

Well when I took the cover off I thought I had found my smoking gun as the black part is badly torn: Then I realised that that isn’t the o-ring and there is an o-ring as well. Anyone any ideas? I have replaced the o-ring and not refitted the...

That price is inc vat just for clarity. But I am not sure what will be wrong with it, it was fully working, and was then in an engine fire. the local place didn't seem bothered by that and just aid they are the flat rate.

Picked up the o-ring needed today form a local diesel specialist, proper old fashioned Aladdin's cave of a workshop in an industrial unit with injections pumps everywhere! On that note he quoted me £540 to rebuild a 200tdi injection pump (the...

I use a crowbar everytime! But I will try slackening it off and see if that makes a difference. Need to fix the injector pump leak first, but managed to get the o-ring needed today.

Good point, but it’s very repairable, and if I was fit enough to break it I’d fix it!

I have used both SP panels and Paintman for complete doors with no issues. I think they both do just the skins?

I have a thread about the alternator belt tensions, I have just replaced the bracket with an adjustable link to keep tension LINK The power steering one is not usually a problem, have the bolts stripped the threads out of the blind holes? if so...

I have twin electric fans which have a fairly sizable draw on the when running and have a husky winch that although only used occasionally was the reason for the larger alternator. I used to have 8x 120watt spotlights on it, but they are now...

I don't think so, it is the same tension I would have put on it previously with the old slider. But surely over tensioning would effect the bearings not the charging ability? It is still spinning and not making any noises.

Many thanks for confirming. My spare pump is currently attached to the engine that was on fire awaiting a rebuild!

Many thanks. My plan was to call them in the morning and see if I can get quick delivery etc and confirm it’s the correct part. I was also going to have a google and dee if there are any diesel pump specialist near me or atherstone (work) to...

Done a connection check. They are all secure and was a new loom and alternator with the rebuild after the fire about two years ago so still all good condition. I might see how much a 100anp alternator is and swap over and repair without the...

Do you know the sizes or part numbers? I can only find them as part of a full seal kit! The reason for asking to confirm is this picture on the seal kit page (same website LINK) shows things on both that I dont seem to have on my pump and that...

Well some good news and some bad news to report. Having test driven home (about 20miles) everything is still good, belt is still tensioned. However on arriving home the electric fan kicked in and the battery light came on. Now the battery light...

Am I right in thinking this cover has nothing behind it and again is just an o-ring to seal? Looking at the diagram here (LINK) that looks to be the case? Just need to work out a part number or size for the correct o-ring (number 36)

May have got the wrong side cover looks to be the cover furthest form the engine rather than the one on thw inside. Have managed to get some pics of it running below. Do we think the stream of fuel is coming out the bottom side of the cover or...

Now fitted, tensioned up nicely with ease and on my own. Just need to see how well it performs and keeps Tension now. But that needs to wait until my injection pump is no longer pouring fuel out the side of it!

And change the star screws to Allen heads. Easier to tighten by the side of the road

Is a boost ring worth the effort? I have heard of it before but have no expiriance either way.

Many thanks. Not something I am going to be able to fix in the work car park. But an easy fix once I am home and have ordered the correct o-rings. Much better than being a castrophic failure inside the pump! Will just be an expensive and...

I was going to rant and be very unhappy that it is still leaking. But I now have an injector pump pouring fuel (LINK) so am unsure if the fuel on the filler begins from the filler neck or from the pump that has covered everything underneath and...

My fuel pump has decided it does want to have fuel on the inside any more. I appear to be pumping fuel out of the cover circled below. Is this something that I can repair myself or is this a terminal failure and I need to send it off for rebuild.

There is an Internatiaonl section of the forum: LINK you could drop a post on, and I assume datatek is in France as @Dippypud has tagged him so he will see that post.

Is it still financially worth buying panels, repairing you old one, and then getting acid and hot dip galved? I have a bulkhead that is salvageable but needs some repair and am trying to work out if it is worth it or not. The price of new ones...

In the spirit of education I am going to be even more pedantic than @bluedog333. It is not "90" it is Ninety. When these first came out in the '80's there were referred to as Land Rover One Ten, Land Rover Ninety, and Land Rover One Two Seven...
