Thanks again... I'm sure I blocked off the egr feed when I deleted it... Probably best to just hook the pipe back up to the actuator and disturb things as little as possible Cheers K

Thanks for that.... Do I presume that as I have removed the egr valve and blanked it off I can just block the pipe and ignore it?? K

Hi All I'm having trouble with no servo assistance for the brakes on my 300tdi..... Took out the servo valve and it seems fine (air only goes one way when you blow down it).... A short way down the vacuum pipe there's a T piece and a thin tube goes off somewhere down the back of the engine...

Always disappointed to be following a thread and it fizzles out without a conclusion so.... Got back from NZ and took it in to get the cam belt changed.... Now runs fine again.... Belt was overdue so perhaps both cam and pump timing not as they should have been.... At least all the stuff I did...

Hi All Had injectors cleaned and checked by a local (only 90 mile round trip!) injector specialist.... Idles smoother and have no doubt stored up some brownie points in Landy Heaven as regards future reliability and mileage.... But has had no impact on my problem. Off to New Zealand for a...

Hanging in there.... Tho having a bit of trouble with the latest crop of twenty-somethings in their carbon rockets :-) Put the gauge in place of the bleed on the diesel filter and reads 5psi on idle dropping to 3.5 when revving.... In the absence of readings from a known good pump all I'll say...

Thanks for the replies... Part of not doing the cambelt is time (or at least priorities!).... I race the car in my profile pic and that need some mods over winter... My tow van and trailer need their winter fettle and service.... I'm part way into restoring a Morgan and I promised my wife I'd...

landyfox.... Certainly one possibility is that the injectors are unable to flow sufficient fuel under load.... Will check the lift pump as that can be done myself... Then unless I have a blaze of inspiration I'll be putting it into my local independent landy garage to get them to check and...

I doubt anyone has.... Not your normal spec sheet entry :-) The pump is pretty much the same as feeds the float bowls on old carb cars... Used to run mine at 3.5 psi.. So if it hits around that then fair enough..... Think it's more about flowing sufficient fuel up to the filter for the fip to...

That's something to follow up (I like cheap and easy! :-) .)..... Pretty decent flow out of the bleed screw but that doesn't tell you if it has pressure behind it (I have a fuel pressure gauge kit.... If the scale is not too blunt and I have the right fitting I can get a reading off that...

Yep..... Not messed with..... And punch mark facing block gives a baseline refit if you don't.... Thinking myself that the injector pump and the injectors are the one link I haven't checked...... I intend to take it in for a cam belt so will do that sooner rather than later and get someone more...

Hi Mick Nope... Never stalls.. Symptom on the road is... Pulls fine in lower gears but on anything resembling a hill in higher gears loses speed and needs a change down.... Like a N/A engine by the feel of it..... Runs sweet enough just totally gutless compared to past performance.... Putting...

Curiouser and curiouser..... Motor starts and runs with the top off the fip.... Rev to half and push down on the diaphragm and no effect at all..... Would expect black smoke (none... Not even at idle)..... Took out the diaphragm and even with the pin fully out not a sniff of smoke or change of...

The turbo is new but not oem.... Hard to think the old turbo (albeit with leaky seals) and new one both faulty the same way. My plan is to take the top off the fip... Rev it to about half revs then gently push the diaphragm down with my thumb thereby increasing the fueling to see if it has any...

Thanks for the reply..... As far as I can tell the turbo/fip pipe is sound (as is the diaphragm under close inspection) ..... Have blown down the turbo end and it holds air til I go red in the face with no feel of it leaking away. Not at clue it it's viable, but thought of taking the top off the...

PS... all new silicone hoses and clips... Egr valve removed and blanked.... Giving the hose a squeeze and revving it there's a hardly detectable stiffening of the hose... Should be much more I think... Would tend to confirm the gauge. K

Hi Guys and Gals My 300tdi defender went gutless on me.... Seemed decent through the low gears and flat cruising but show it even a mild hill and it's down through the gears.... Pulled things down and lots of oil in the intake side (turbo seals failed).... Bought a boost gauge and only about...

Thanks for the info..... As I thought, but I'm more familiar with the series.... Good to have it confirmed.... In the past I have driven with the front axle only (this time its RWD) and know what you mean about the odd lunges through the steering. Many Thanks Keith

Hi All I have a duff prop shaft uj.... Will take a couple of days to get a new joint here and fit it.... I have the shaft out and the diff lock on (defender 90 300tdi by the way).... With my old 2a I happily used it for local running about in the same state while parts were sourced.... I'm...

Refresh finished..... Galv body capping and nato satin green.... Looking a bit smarter (but still a user not a looker)
