  1. Hi Guys What is the best way to mark the position of the Max Power screw prior to removal? Some have mentioned measuring the distance with a vernier. What about screwing it all the way in and counting the number of turns, does it reach a hard stop or doe it just get stiffer and stiffer as you turn it in with no definate result? I have this job awaiting me when I return back home for a quick R&R. My 2007 Defender 110 Kalahari Edition 300TDi decided enough was enough and let go of the o-ring seal on the throttle pivot shaft the evening I parked her in the garage prior to flying out overseas the next day. My closest Bosch agent is in the city 100km away and the pump is dribbling too much to drive her through, so it's a no option for me , I have to remove the cover and take it in seperately to the agent.
  2. Simonb Thanks for the post. This is a job pending for when I get home from overseas where I am currently working. As I pulled the Defender into the garage the evening before I had to fly overseas, I smelt the diesel and discovered that the spindle shaft was literally dribbling diesel. There was no prior warning or slight seepage, it just decided it had had enough! I live in a small village 100km from the nearest Bosch dealers, so driving there is not an option due to the secverity of the diesel leak past the shaft. No decent Indy in the village that I can trust either, I have no option but to take off the cover and shaft and get them in to the dealer for bush replacement and "O" ring, possibly aq new shaft depending on it's condition. This thread is absolutely invaluable to be. I now know what to do to get it off and what to watch out for. Seven years on and this thread is still providing valuable information! Well done indeed!
