Lynall it's a pickup and sender in one unit and it's side mounted to the passengerside of the fuel tank.. Tottot, it's both gauges, last night I tested both gauges off the vehicle and both gauges work, also, I have been out again today, both the fitted gauge and sender/Pickup work, this was...

Hi guys, I have a defender 110 300tdi on a 94 Plate, recently I replaced the fuel tank, fuel sender ( replaced tank and all fixtures and fittings), now I'm having major issues with the original fuel gauge, prior to the tank replacement, the fuel gauge worked with no problems, however, since the...

OK I've located the issue, one thing I did forget to mention is the landy does have a split charging system fitted, have again checked and tracing the B+ wire from the Alternator to the split charging system there is a connection made with nut and bolt, the heavy duty spade connector had come...

Just been out today and changed battery to an optima yellow which is fully charged, cleaned all connections, earth and + battery wires that are connected to the battery prior to fitting, disconnected the exciter from the Alternator and tested with multimeter, at this point with the ignition on...

Rougharse Racing, thanks for your reply, the Alternator was listed as being for the Defender 300tdi models, my Defender is the 1994 300tdi, as for the trigger wire/excitor wire, the connection on the new Alternator is the same connection on the old Alternator, both had the 3 connections 1st is...

Hi freelance yes, if I am correct the 300tdi engine rotation is clockwise if standard in front of the vehicle while bench testing the Alternator, the operation was also clockwise.

I have a 300tdi Defender, was fitted with a 65Amp Alternator, this Alternator required a healthy blip of throttle to get the Alternator to charge, this blip was required at every start irrespective if the engine was hot or cold. Now I have a new Alternator 100Amp, to get this Alternator ready...

Just an update guys, all sorted now, thanks to everyone who helped, anyway, sent the 2nd pump off to Dieselec for overhaul and all fitted and what a difference it has made. For £150 it was well worth it and i don't regret screwing this attempted unsiezing guide pin project. One thing about my...

Hi all, I'm looking for recommendations on overhauling a 300tdi Bosch VE pump (the 2nd hand pump i purchased), i have found 2, dieselec of Bridgnorth and diesel Bob of Ribchester. Dieselbob is £295 and allows pumps to be posted, this post ability will be my only option Dieselec very limited...

Pressure Relief Valve got it. I'll have a look at that tomorrow, what symptoms would a faulty PRV cause?,

PRV enlighten me?, don't know what that is. Yes prior to me taking the top cover off it worked well with exception to the turbo which is what prompted me to attempt to unsieze the guide pin, I would estimate that the turbo was only working around 25 to 30% as when on even slight hills it barely...

I'm in South East Wales, I'll have to have a chat with my local garage and get a quote, I have a spare pump here anyway see what the guy says either swap it out or fix this one.

Yeah the Cam belt is turning, I'm getting fuel to the fuel injection pump bleed screw while cranking the engine over on the key but not exiting into the injector pipework.

Changed the stop solenoid for a new one, still no fuel to injectors so I'm assuming the Injection Pump is fubar.

I'll update if this is indeed the case, to be honest in my opinion it can't be anything else, as the fuel gets to all parts of the fuel system while turning the engine over i.e. exits out of the filter bleed screw, inlet and return line feed to injector pump and bleed screw in centre of Fuel...

I've just checked the new one i have bought, and yes your right there is a rubber cap fitted to the plungers tip. I'm guessing this has fallen off and got stuck in the gallery and preventing fuel getting to the injectors.

Thank you, I'm asking about the lift pump as I had to remove the Injection Pump top cover to unseize the guide pin, after refitting I've now noticed that whilst priming the fuel system ( i am aware of the fact that the priming lever will only work in certain circumstances) after actuating the...

Well been out today, still waiting for a 24mm spanner to come through the post to remove the stop solenoid, had made a tool but that solenoid is well in there and it wouldn't bugde. Question even though the stop solenoid is clicking when energised could it still be defective? Also, while...

Neilly, yes fuel is at centre bolt at rear of pump. As for solenoid and removing the plunger and spring, I have not done that but I will do that tomorrow see if I can get out in between the rain. Even though the solenoid is clicking when energised within the pump and prior to the work being...

neilly, no injector union at pump end dry as a bone, I've let it crank over for a good few seconds, around 30 seconds it's a pain as I go out and a minute or 2 later it belts down, got 3 days of this by the looks.
