You can keep a tdi running with a 9v battery from a tv remote wired into the stop solenoid. They really are the old fashioned mechanical type that require virtually no power to run. On this I went with the safe option to protect the battery recommended by @Hicap phill on my other thread and...

That is a job for tomorrow. Right now I need to get it to a point where I can drive it with or without the engine charging the battery so I can get to work in Stoke later tonight. Have a separate thread asking about that specific issue!

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 running. Engine off: Engine running: With the...

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 the alternator may be a little noise at the rear...

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 black seal but won’t be able to test until later...

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 one off my fire damaged engine if it makes a...

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.

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 a helicoil will solve the issue. You could also...

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 LED's so much lower amp draw.

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 try and pick one up tomorrow.

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 vehicle being off the road. But the one I have is a...

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 the o-ring is the same part which is not the case...

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 is permanently on, and the rev counter (run off...

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)
