Yes thanks, that’s the same diagram I used from my parts manual. I will try re-ordering and see if bolts that fit arrive!

Hi all, Having rebuilt my 200tdi engines and put a whole new exhaust on having discovered the previous one was a collection of original ‘87 tdi parts with more holes in than a holy thing (how did it get through those last MOTs?) Anyway, I digress! Before the rebuild I was continually irritated...

Right! Good news (and for me) bad- I took the advice and rigged up an external fuel source and plugged it directly to the filter and started undoing unions. I couldn’t get fuel out of any of the FIP outlets using this method but lots of air bled back through the pipes over about 30 mins. I then...

It looks like one these could be the answer NTC2223 - Land Rover Defender Fuel Hose Lines Restrictor as I can push rubber hose on

So another question, what are the name/size of the fuel line connectors that go to the lift pump, they are larger it appears than brake calliper connectors as of course the idea of making up a fuel reservoir and flushing everything out using gravity was a great suggestion but at the moment...

The clear pipe idea is good (and the cam position) I will fiddle some more

Ok, so more ‘lack of progress’ 1 I made myself a solenoid removal spanner - took a while to work that one out! 2 I’ve swapped the solenoid over with another that I know (was) working 3 It clicks when 12v applied (but so did the other so no guarantees) 4 cranked the engine no start, no fuel...

Right! I’m seeing obvious benefits in a spare solenoid - I can also swap the one over in my ‘spare rip’

It ran perfectly previously, the pump has sat on the bench while I stripped and rebuilt the engine- pipe sucking is next on my list. I will take out the solenoid and have a look. Pretty sure the pipes are routed correctly as they ‘kind of’ fell back into place when I dropped the engine back in-...

Definitely 12v there. feeding diesel in to get a response may be a good call. I was originally hoping it was just air in the system and opening every pipe union would slowly flush it out but that does not appear to be occurring.

Ahh, ok something I did not know. So it is possible it’s an injector pump problem, or both, there is 12 v to the solenoid on the injector. Presumably the injector pump is mechanical and even if (for the sake of argument) I had refitted it incorrectly timed(which I don’t believe to be the case)...

Yes, I will have look under to see if anything got trapped during the refit

So I’m not hearing anything to stress me out so I’m thinking tapping in an oversize stud sounds like the answer. Thanks fo the responses

…..and another woe In bolting the bell housing back to the engine on of the studs has pulled out. Any advice on how to address without pulling the whole engine out again. It is fortunately one of the more accessible ones but surprisingly this is not something I’ve had to deal with so would...

Hi all, Well I thought I was all good to go with my newly rebuilt 200tdi engine (that has taken me way too long to do) Anyway everything is back together and she won’t start. I have traced this back - I think to the lift pump, although I started back from injectors, cut-off solenoid, fuel...

Hi all, I have a 1987 Land Rover 110 200tdi I had a brake fluid leak from one of my rear wheels so ordered new wheel cylinder, shoes and springs. I was 66% successful with the springs and cylinder fitting perfectly but the shoes were too narrow/small. I got the parts from Rimmer Brothers - the...

I like the idea of rebuilding it, but I do not want it off the road too long and my garage is full of another project at the moment which means working outside on the driveway - which does not appeal at the mo. Last gearbox I rebuilt was a '67 MG midget back in around 1982 - but its probably...

Thanks for the response, current gearbox is/n is 50A0199134E trying to phone around at the mo to see who can quote me a good price for fitting - just looking an Ashcroft and 380s are around double the price! before the extras

Morning all, I have just returned from a 5 hour ordeal with my beloved 110 on the back of a recovery truck :( Just passing Reading eastbound on the M4 at 0630 when the was a bit of a bang from underneath, I started to slow down not sure if I'd hit something and then there were a huge number of...

OK,to answer my own question I went out and got a deep impact socket and tried again. It was a bit scary as I suspect that the first three bolts were way over torque but they did come loose. The remaining 15 were all easy to undo - much ado about nothing..
