Just fitted a 334 varta from Tanya.. Good price and next day delivery.. only concern I've got is the bonnet stay seems very close to the positive terminal.. The positive cable goes round the back of the engine to the starter.. and negative down to the battery tray.. ive added an extra earth to...

After sitting in the garage and finally getting round to rebuilding the engine and gearbox this year.. I thought best have a quick look at the brakes ( its nice to stop even if it takes a while), both the back brakes popped up problems.. drivers side about to pour fluid all over the shoes (it...

There are a few good you tube videos of gearbox rebuilds " steam wally " is one of them he found that a 1st - 2nd synchro had been supplied with the inside reversed.. the other is "Geoffrey croker" I think.. good videos and informative, helped me do mine..

Thanks..

Not so much space now .. Although the rad is now leaking so that will be coming out for repair now.. It runs as is so might leave it for the mo.. cant find the pump I took out, might have binned it.. but I do have another old ac type pump and spare block with cam I can measure..

So far as I was aware I only asked the question in this section of landyzone, if referring to asking on another forum then when you don't get a response you ask elsewhere, landyzone used to be a welcoming and lively place, with a bit of banter... the last few queries I've made have been met with...

Hi all, I've just rebuilt a 2.25 diesel engine and just wondering is there supposed to be a spacer behind the fuel pump.. its an original ac type pump..?

thanks for the reply, yeah the bell housing will be cleaned prior to refitting, i'm toying with the idea of overhauling the box as when i dropped the oil out two of the detent clips from the 3-4 synchro came out... i've seen bread used to remove the spiggot bush with an old input shaft.

Starting back at the project..

Engine out and noticed some play on the input shaft in the gearbox.. there is about 1.5 to 2mm side to side, how much is normal..

Took the engine out..

try injectionpumps.co.uk i'm looking at doing a complete overhaul on my dpa pump complete seal kit is about £18.50 but they do individual bits too.

looking for a 2.25 petrol engine..

looking to swap the old oil burner for a petrol engine, trying to keep it a little original but will consider a 2.5.

is it a 5 main bearing??

pulling my hair out..... bujt looking forward to stripping down the old oil burner

not needed with a 2.25 just need the pull stop in and make sure the lever on the pump is down too.. if you still cant bleed it through then the injector pump has a problem.

I've had two intermotor ones and both failed ended up soldering a fly lead back onto the original as the only reason I had replaced it was due to the tag snapping off..

make sure the stop lever is operating and if it is then the little ball bearing may be stuck inside the injector pump stopping the fuel from coming through.. google cav dpa pump and have a look at the exploded diagrams for a better idea..

My poor old 2.25 diesel has just failed its mot.. I had a little play and gave it a bit of a run today.. noticed a few odd things recently like revving and settling back to idle all on its own and just randomly dying.. whilst I was out on the run the oil pressure light came on and when back...
