Hey guys . Does anyone know if the new pipe - 544658 come with the gauze filter attached? Removed mine today and it is amazing the old girl would even run with the amount of crud on it! Thanks in advance.

Does anyone know where I can get the banjo bolt (output side) for the lift pump on my series 3? Or at least the correct part number? Been searching for hours and can't find anything that looks similar! I think it is a 3/4 but not sure as to thread etc. Any help would be much appreciated!

Without meaning to be rude I wonder if you could possibly tell me what was wrong/cured your Landy? You said on my post about the series 3 randomly throwing out smoke that you had the exact same problem. Dying to hear from someone who has had the same issues. Many thanks in advance.

Thanks trax but the problem was internally within pump. Hopefully get the new one on tomorrow!

Injector lines appear fine and the injector pump hasn't been messed with. With regards to the air filter what do you mean set up correctly? I've cleaned it thoroughly and replaced with new oil. After replacing one of the injectors they all seem fine when cracked so would this rule out a problem...

Trax, Glow plug light is working and up until a couple of weeks ago 20 seconds was plenty to start her up even from very cold. I think of the plugs were goosed then it wouldn't start first time then cut out after 5 seconds or so. Going to take the lift pump out and check everything is at it...

Yeah incredibly similar although mine can go at usually about 1 or 2 miles then seems fine again. Please tell me you resolved it? :)

I think it's grey/black. By top speed I mean about 45/48 in 4th. (could probably go slightly more but don't like to over stress it) Haven't checked the timing on the pump yet. Plenty unburnt diesel on start up but idles fine with no smoke. No black smoke when going up hills. 48mph in 3rd! I...

Ah doesn't sound too healthy mate, thanks for making me feel slight better about my issues!

Regarding what peter said above I cracked the injectors last weekend and they were all fine apart from 1 which I have since replaced so this would indicate that the injector pump is working fine and I can eliminate this from my possible causes list? Does anyone know if air in the system could...

Tom, What were the symptoms/fixes to your issue? Johnny - whats up with yours? Lol there always seems to be a problem of some sort!!!

Cheers Peter I'll give that a go at the weekend. In some ways I hope it is that because I don't know what else I can try!

Peter, Many thanks for the reply. Doesn't appear to be any leaks anywhere and bleeds well from the top of the filter as well as the pump. Is there anything I can do to check the injector pump or is it just a case of replacing it? I've been looking for a while but never seen one for sale...

A new addition is that it will start first time, then cuts out after a few seconds without any throttle and then wont restart. If left for half an half an hour or so it will start again. any ideas? Could the two problems be related? I'm guessing this issue is been caused by air in the system but...

Hi guys, I recently purchased my series 3 diesel and absolutely love it. The only problem is every so often, usually after the first mile or driving or so there is a rattle from the engine bay then a huge cloud of smoke from the exhaust. After this it seems to run fine again as if it has...
