It doesn't show in the rave diagrams!
Niamh

Absolutely.
But has anyone found this to happen in real life, or know of another cause for failure; I checked voltage to the switch and switch function on the front one last year, but didn't have the time to investigate further.

Last year the front stopped operating now the rear one has stopped too.
Can they suffer from the same dry joint on the controller problem that affects the windows?

Sounds like a dying wiper moter to me...

Single button fob at that age I believe.

Wrong & wrong again:
track rod both ends are RH thread the mid track rod adjustment no. 3 has a LH thread.
Unless one has fitted a heavy duty track rod
In which case its 1 LH & 1 RH.

Supplies about 2V (through the dim dip resistor) to the dip lights when the sidelights only AND ignition are on.

The only relay is the dim dip one, the main feeds to head and dip lights aren't relayed as standard.

I got an advisory on the drivers belt on my 300TDi a couple of years ago, and got a replacement off ebay.

Nice idea, but the fitment is very different

Me too.
And having just snapped the side of one trying to fit it I was wondering about rubber ones... but no point in ordering from someone without beingg sure it won't be another plastic one.

-
Do any of the aftermaket suppliers do rubber ones as opposed to the hard plastic standard fitment?

do you have the sprocket retaing tool ?
Yep
-
I doubt I'm going to be able to turn it the 90 degree required once it's in place and the sprocket attached even loosely (I'll be using the appropriate tool through the inspection hole to lock the sprocket prior to pulling the old pump.
That's why I want to turn the pump and lock it before fitting IYSWIM

I've got a second hand injection pump here that was obviously removed without being locked at the timimg position.
Can I simply tuen it so the timing pin goes in and then lock it prior to fitting? I assume so, but...
Niamh
-
OK, they're not in a different state of tune then?

Are there any differences between the manual throttle 300TDi injection pumps on Discos and Defenders?
Are they interchangeable?

I'm going to have to actually check that at some point as all the diagnostics in Rave are with the ECU disconnected.
Next time I'm playing with it I'll see what sort of speed I get... I know that once actuated the system holds a vacuum as I swithed off the pump but left the solenoid on.
Niamh
-
When you went through the diagnostics, how fast did the vacuum pump operate the actuator?

Seem to recall Ian Ashcroft saying something like the box has to be stood on end
Certainly the paperwork that come with the box from Ashcroft advises this... and has dire warnings about oil cooler and pipes and crud, I took the easy option and went for a new cooler and pipes.

I would say, find a friend with an SLR.
My SLRs take that old fashioned film stuff

The studs are similar to wheel studs - in that they are a tight splined fit from the inside of the casing.
Ah, they're not like manifold studs that are screwed in then.
Mind I hope that having fitted the ATB diffs that I'm not going to be working there again... unless we decide to upgrade the fronts as well.
It is a pain - having to seperate the parts/ clean it up afterwards, but the general idea is that the job was done right in the first place, so therefore having to take it apart again in the future is generally not a consideration.Though some things have to be disassembled for routine maintenance, for example wheel bearings don't last forever.
