OK, well this is how it was set up, with the out from the pump going to the filter (then onto the IN on top of the FIP) and to the Back Leak pipe on the base of the FIP. So the FIP has inbound pressure on the IN and Back Leak. The Spill pipe is the only one back to the tank, and the OUT...

Hello again. So we had some joy yesterday. But still some confusion! image 7090- shows how the pump was set up at the beginning of the day. with the double banjo on the outlet. This is also how it looks in the Haynes manual, image also attached. (7137, 7138) I traced the fuel lines back ...

wow, thanks for all the input, i was away green leaning in Thetford yesterday, but i'm back on the Land Rover today ,and determined to get it going!! Ill just go over a few points and try and make it all clear and add a couple more photos. So. -That Halfords fuel pump has been in it for the...

the filter is sealed so no new element. as it was empty , i opened its drain valve and filled it up with diesel to get rid of most of the air from with in. the chassis ground has just been re done, as that was my original problem when fitting the engine back in, there wasn't a good ground...

Right , so I'm back at it . Pumping the hand prime to get the air out , I thought I'd also show the filter system in this vehicle that was put in before I bought is and I have never questioned it . It is a separate halfords fuel filter that has 2 pipes in the top . I have added a picture . The...

so in ref to the 2-5 ltr, are you expecting to have to pump by hand for ages untill you have a bucket of diesel that has come from the air screw, before your free of air? As if this is the case, then im not even getting 500ml, so i guess i just have to work the pump for 10 min straight?

the pump is working well on the hand lever, i removed the out union and if really fires out diesel. the diesel comes out the oump body screw really well, with force, but just not on the control cover, (ref haynes manual photo of which is which. )

definite about which screws im doing. i also have the CAV instruction book and haynes manual for ref. As its just me doing it, i have both screws undone, then pump and when diesel is coming from the first screw, i close that , then wait for it to appear from the second whilst still pumping...

I know the pump is working manually, and i would have thought it was on the cam. Is there a way to test that besides running and looking for pump action? Secondly i have pumped a while, but maybe not 2.5ltr of dribble in the bucket before the air bubbles stop, the thing is im not seeing...

It is a new one, well a rebuilt one that i bought, after the original totally died. I cant imagine that having only gone a few mile and then nothing for a year, that is bad enough for a rebuild?

Hi , So i have a series 2, 109, with a series 3 5 bearing , 2.25 diesel engine in. It seriously died last year, (main bearings went, timing chain slipped, and smashed valves into pistons, injector died, radiator blew up, etc etc, ) so the engine came out and was totally rebuilt, re sleeved...
