What the hell has Facebook et al got to do with my original request ?! Sadly another case of a badly hijacked thread - over and out !

Was quite surprised at the quick and some funny responses to my post. I do think that this is probably the best forum going, as 'Yoyodyne' says, and that's why I place posts here (occasionally) first and foremost.. I particularly like the layout where you can go directly to a dedicated 19J...

Hoping someone can keep me right on this one. Is there any protocol regarding what might be called 'double posting' here on LandyZone ? i.e. would it be considered 'bad form' to transfer a post I already have on here to one of the other Land Rover forums or is this quite acceptable practice...

Haven't made a post for a considerable time so here's something that might just be of interest to those working with their 19J 2.5 Diesel Turbo injection pumps. It may well also apply to n/a 12J, etc engines also. I had seen this idea mentioned somewhere before a long time ago on some forum or...

In reply to "Turboman" - I still think the lever under the main throttle arm is something to do with slowing down the throttle shut-off because it only comes into play just before throttle closure and it is free from the action of it's tension spring at higher throttle positions, but you might...

Thanks again, guys, for replies. In answer to 'Blackburn's' post above - the two wee pics won't enlarge for me, try as I might, so I can't read them, unfortunately. However, you have brought up a point which I hadn't considered, which is adjusting the 'new' diaphragm to the same setting as the...

Thanks for replies. Firstly, in answer to "Turboman's" questions - no, there's no locking wire except on the maximum throttle stop (and a piece that used to be on the diaphragm cover - see below) and, yes, there's yellow paint on the screw heads but not enough to tell if they've ever been messed...

Thanks, Blackburn, I had just about given up but with your reply, there might still be hope. For now I can't access the link you sent on the Land Rover U.K. forums as I'm not registered with them yet, (I'm on just about every other L/R forum there is !). To begin with, one thing where there is...

Thanks, Dippypud' but the DPA pump is a lot different from the DPS. Furthermore, the Sherpa n/a pump does not have the gizmos on it for the turbo, so is not much use either. I don't want to go as far as looking for and trying Bosch pumps belonging to something else, so this option is not on the...

That's all very well for a well-off gentleman like yourself, Turboman, but £40+ for a manual is a lot to me and maybe double that for the services of a specialist. I much prefer to investigate and fix things myself, rather than just 'farm it out' - a lot of satisfaction is to be gained from...

Come on guys, don't let this thread go cold on me. Let's have some opinions on the manual download link mentioned above. Is it worth the risk ? Is there any risk ? I NEED this manual !

A "complete service" was maybe a bit of an overstatement - I know that would not be easy or undertaken lightly but I'd really be happy even with knowing what all the gizmos do and how they work, and what adjustments can be made and what effect they have. Nothing beats a manual. There's one...

Still looking ! The downloads kindly sent to me by 'flat' are mostly for the DPA pump, while although helpful are not sufficient for me to undertake a complete DPS pump service.

Thanks, flat, I have sent you a p.m.

Hi, This request has possibly been made some time in the dim and distant past but I can find nothing - honest, I've tried hard ! Does anyone know where I can obtain a preferably free manual pdf style download for the above pump, or even decent exploded views ? I can order a conventional manual...

Hi, Key, I'm sure you've got your info a long time ago now, but as I am a new recruit to Landyzone and saw your request when browsing this forum, I though I'd answer anyway. The thread is M20 X 1,5 mm pitch

Yes, "jamesmartin", - It so happens I have already fitted a different set of (home made tester tested) injectors . The previous owner was known for messing about with pump settings, funny fuels, etc., so he might well have mucked about with the injectors as well. Discussed raising the Ats...

O.K., Turboman - just for you - a couple of 'black museum' pics relating to my last post. If you, or any others are of a sensitive mechanical disposition, I suggest viewer discretion - you have been warned ! "bushwwacker" - I didn't realise that Nigella was your avatar for two...

Hi, try as I might, I cannot find where I saw those Chinese pistons advertised, but the situation here has changed. I pulled out of the shed an old 19J which a friend had given me as scrap years ago and, after I removed the head I discovered that the pistons were the Teflon coated ones with...

Hi, In answer to the question from "Thor1950" the answer is YES. It's just that I've seen some Chinese ones advertised (cheaper than Brit, of course, as you might expect) and wondered if anyone had any first hand experience of them in use. I would be a bit reticent about buying Chinese but this...
