Yeah that would be great if you could send a number over and I’ll have a look! Cheers

I got a standard cheap one from Amazon, £16 I think? I needed quick delivery as it was purely for a test. But it works! I’m going to eventually get a facet style one off eBay as lynall suggested and chassis mounting it. Probably will have to be after my next trip. This current one sounds like a...

Can confirm that bypassing the lift pump with something similar has done the trick. Many thanks!

Nylon hoses replaced with black rubber fuel rated hose. Didn't go for clear as it was running fine with the nylon lines I did the diesel supply test last time it did this (before the recon pump) and didn't really point us in any direction, will give it another go though. I've ordered an...

On another note, it ran spot on up until yesterday where I replaced the leak off pipes and the nylon fuel pipes from lift pump to filter, filter to lift pump. I should have stuck to if it ain’t broke don’t fix it 🥲

I’ll give that a go next time I’m on it I’ve noticed that the lift pumps seem to get worse and then occasionally you get a good one which is why I’m just going to bypass it next time. PTFE tape on the threads is a good idea I shall be doing that. I got my recon pump from Sheaf diesel services...

Yeah, though the injection pump is within warranty, its still a right hassle. if i whip the injection pump pipe off and take the solenoid wire off, then give it a crank, not a lot of fuel reaches it :rolleyes:

resurrecting this thread because its done it again. Here is the up to date list of jobs I have completed. - Recon injection pump - Timing adjustment (it was well out somehow) After these two, it drove spot on for a long time with the occasional hiccup Today i did these, because of the...

Looking to replace all the nylon fuel lines on my 200. does anyone know what internal diameter hose I need? going to do leak off pipes on injectors, lift pump pipes fuel filter pipes and any others I've missed? TIA.

I gave it a start today after some tweaks (no joy) and that area had a slight hiss like it wasn't sealed correctly. that will be my next job, which I am absolutely not looking forward to

Not immediately after, probably a month or two, but this month is the first time it’s actually been driven on the road, not sat on the drive without a mot.

Yeah I’m gonna have a tinker with it as it’s still smoking more than I’d like.

ideal, will have a gander thankyou. Could this cause this issue even though I've had this engine 5 years and it has only just started doing this?

previous owner of this engine has definitely messed with the pump, rolled coal like nothing I've ever see before when I put it in mine and got it running. I read somewhere that the removal of the stop start solenoid and it having swarf on would be a sign that the pump has started to wear, but...

Yeah that's what im going to do if i can find some clear pipe. Not sure what you mean by the paint/wire/plastic present on inj pump?
