  1. if the engine is pulling fuel out of the tank then shouldnt it be creating a vacume rather than pressurising the tank? surley the ball in the cap is only to let air in and thats why it has a spring behind it?
  2. hi iv got a presurised tank on a 2.5td . i am asuming its the fuel pump diafram if it is is there any other symptoms to look out for?
  3. its just a thought have you tryed opening your air filter box and driving it then? i had simular symptoms and it turned out to be a flattened air intake in the wing
  4. SORTED IT WAS A CALAPSED AIR INTAKE WOOOHOOO!!!!. the extra suction when the wastgate opened was flattening the intake in the wing. its a good job there wasnt any turbos on ebay
  5. the turbo dusnt look that bad so why do i only get black smoke when the wastgate opens its like there isnt enough air being sucked in to burn the diesel
  6. hi how can i tell if my turbo seal has blown?
  7. hi the other day i notised a whistling noise when i got to certain revs now when the turbo cutts in black smock bellows from the exhaust and the engine splutters and missfirer can anybody give me any good advice apart from stick a 200tdi in (mine is a td)P.S if enybody can give me a good price for supply and fitting a tdi that mite be something for me to think about becouse this engine has cost me a small fortune and its still going up
  8. thanks for the reply but i think its the turbo oil seals blown 2 days before i heard whistling at a sertain engine speed now at the same speed it blows out loads of black smoke but it runs ok until then
  9. hi i have changed the cam followers and pushrods on my 2.5td (19j) it now has less power and when the turbo cutts in it starts miss fireing and blowing out black smoke do you think it is timing or something else? if its timing do i turn the pump towards the block or away from the block?
  10. no it dousnt work but it works when you loosen the nuts about 5 or 6mm the same as the old one which also works when you loosen it of. i have brought yet another one this time whith the packer i will fitt it the weekend and let you know.
  11. its looking like i may have no choice but to buy a hole new pump just to get a plastic spacer unless anybody can give me some sort of thickness so i can adapt something
  12. there is an aluminium casting on the block and my td is one of the last ones its a 1990. the pump operates when you slacken off the bolts but when they are tite the pump doesnt work and neather did the old one. you can hear a ticking when the engine is running so the arm is defenetly longer than it should be. P.S i am in redditch near birmingham were are you?
  13. hi i have found the spacer on fleabay with a pump it looks to be about 6mm thick but carnt be sure has anybody got any sugestions as i dont fancy buying yet another pump just for a spacer i was thinking some sort of dence rubber or plastic
  14. has anybody got any photos of the spacer or can you tell me how thick it is or were i can get one ?
  15. ther is a fitting that is atatched to the block witch the pump fitts to and the pump came with a new gasket this pump is identicle to the one o have just taken off but there was the same problem with that pump. do you have any other idiers?
  16. the origenal has long gone but the second one is identicle to the new one do you know how i can find out whether there should be a spacer?
  17. hi les what ya doing on here this time in the morning ? i have tryed it in all positions and still nothing but it workes when its off or loose
  18. hi the primer arm on my lift pump didnt work so i brought a new one when i fitted the new one that didnt work either. my landy is a 2.5td (19j)the first pump i brought from a shop and the bloke told me it was the same pump that was fitted to a 200tdi so when i brought this one i cheacked the part numbers on the paddocks web site and they are the same for the discovery 1 and defender 200tdi and 2.5td . as soon as i loosened the old pump it started pumping so am i doung something wrong or is there another pump and both shops are wrong?
  19. can anybody tell me a good place to get tyres cheap online ? or new take off tyres?
  20. now thats what i call a usefull thread . i think it should be put in the tech archive
  21. yep they look ugly but they carnt be all that bad if the mod use them
  22. but most of the bigger chunky tyres seem to be poor quality rubber and they seem to split badly over time
  23. hi can anybody tell me what g90 tyres are like on and off road ive been thinking of getting a set
