Going to try the lift pump first. Looks like it's been there a few years. It seems that some play is acceptable because they 'float'. Guy

Further investigation tonight reveals; the lift pump is clearly on the way out. the turbo does have up/down play of about 2mm each way. the waste gate appears to opening and shuting correctly. Isn't nice that it's always the most expensive fault!!!! Guy

Cheers for that. I'll check. I know it's spinning freely but didn't check for up/down movement. Guy

Funny you should say that. I was hand priming the system the other day having changed the fuel filter and it didn't seem to be working that well. Another thing to check!!!! Guy

No other noises that I can hear. It started getting bad in July and has got worse as the months go by. There's no additional smoke and pulling the filter pipe off didn't seem to make much difference. I could see the turbo spinning though. Guy

I think so. The rubber bit underneath the metal cover held on by 4 screws on top of the pump that has the pipe running off it. If that's it I've checked it and it's fine. Will check the boost pipe tonight. Also had a suggestion to check the waste gate so will try that tonight as well. Thanks for the help. Guy

It's not that. That was first guess and several new Twisted Performance hoses later it was no better. Guy

I'm running a 200Tdi 110. It has about 142K miles on the clock. When i got it it accelerate well and you could feel the turbo coming in. Now it just doesn't accelerate. I'm having to drop down a gear on hills and you don't feel the turbo come in. The overall power is not down it just lacks acceleration. I've changed all the pipework, the fuel filter, the air filter and the intercooler is also clear. Anyone any ideas on what the problem could be? (is it the turbo?). The drop off in power coincided with fitting a raised aire intake but I don't think the two are connected. Thanks for any help. Cheers, Guy

It was LRO. To be fair to them, they don't say it's a Scorpion Racing product. Simply that here is a replacement for your handbrake drum and you can get it here and then publish Scorpion's details. As I understand it Scorpion was a agent for XEng and therefore it would seem there is nothing particularly wrong with the write up. However i did show the set up on my 110 to LRO and LRE and explained where I got it from so, as you say, a little support for the little guy would be welcome (I think LRe did say it was XEng) At the end of the day LRO is part of a huge multi national publishing group and these companies make thier money on advertising revenue. The bigger the advertiser the more influnence you will have. Way of the world!!! I have the brake (and a few other items) from Simon and they are the best bits of kit i've bought. The customer service is superb as well. I'll be going back to him for more kit as funds allow. Guy
