i know its easy done got stickers on order.anyway today i tried the priming thing i ran the low pumps half a dozen times the pumps ran for about a minute at a time before cutting off.so i am now thinking of replacing the high pressure pump it seems the most obvious answer now because if i crank the engine with the rail feed slackend off a little the flow increses slightly so i reckon the pumps buggerd.
 
no i even fitted another one before i noticed the miss feuling theres just not enough pressure its got to be the pump i even changed the pump regulator seal.
 
the landy was first diesel ive had to to make sure I didn't put petrol in I did this...saved me a few times in first month...and stopped wife to

My local BP has pumps where the writing on the handle is badly faded and, despite the handles being black, they are pumping unleaded.
Many people have been caught.
 
now when I think about this I am more likely to put petrol into my car than me putting diesel in to the wife's I just tried the diesel nozzle and it will not fit into the wife's so she is safe and will get me of the hook and putting petrol in mine I can only blame myself
 
ok guys heres the update i went to my local breakers today and bought a 2nd hand hp pump the car had only done 45,000 miles so theres a bonus so whilst waiting on my special removal tool i have took top engine mount off removed intake manifold shifted some pipes took blanking plug out ready for the big change over.now tell me is there anything that can go wrong using the tool.

Just used it this weekend to do the seals on my hp pump. Nothing to go wrong as far as I can see - screw in the big ring, then the sprocket holder (22mm) without the central bolt. This part goes in quite far. Next, tighten the central bolt and the taper should release with a 'crack' sound. Now loosen the central bolt so the new pump can fit in. Rave says you need to remove the aux belt but you don't.

Petrol has a tendency to kill your fuel pump as diesel lubricates it and the petrol won't. Had a colleague do the same and the vehicle progressively got worse until fuel pump packed up totally.
aye the bloke at the scrap yard yesterday reckond common rail diesel comon rail pumps cant handle the pressure as petrols thinner and cuts it way through the seals easier.and right enough it has no pressure surley this new one will do he reckons the injectors should be ok as the seals in the pump will just have split.
