The rubber pipes dry out and crack at the ends where they join to the actuator, pump and t piece. Also on mine the long pipe had split under the air box, it's worth pulling it all out and checking for splits. I put mine in a dish of water, block one end and blow through it.
The only number on the bearing is Nachi 308DS10DST2 . The SKF bearing number SKF 6203-2RS, was passed on to me by REJO, but when I gave this number to the bearing factors, he told me it was no where near the same as mine
Peter, mine is a 300 TDI compressor, don't know if that's different from a 200TDI. But it comes apart as you discribe, with a circlip and a little press on the edge. It came apart no problem.
REJO
Is that the part number for the 300TDI or are they all the same?
THanks ED
It is the bearing, I tried bearing services without any luck. My local LR dealer wants to sell me a compete air con compressor. Does any one know where I might get a suitable bearing from?
Is it possible to change the bearing in the front of the air con compressor, mine is noisy. Is the bearing worn or could it be some other problem. Someone suggested it should run in oil, is this right?
You're right Pete, it is bolted to the air con bracket. It was p*****g down when I checked it this morning.
Surprising how a thunder storm can affect your vision
You can't see it very well in that photo but the two bolts do go into the injector pump. Mine is a jap auto, don't know if UK autos are the same set up.
Check the ends of all vacuum pipesfor splits and cut off to where the split ends then re-fit, and if you check the unit underneath where the bottle jack is stored, you'll find that the pipe maybe split and come off. you can't see the unit but you can feel about for the fitting.

will get some photos in the morning. It has a branch coming off the bottom radiator hose which goes to a unit attached to the EGR, then a pipe coming off that and goes under the black rubber engine cover.
I'm about to blank my EGR valve. I've read all the posts regarding this subjuct. but my valve has water pipes attached to it. What do I do with the pipes?

That looks good Mark, that's the type of look I am after. Do you have any overheating problems with a big winch stuck in front of your radiator. I will be looking for something at the Drifield LRO show
has anyone tried fitting a warn 8274 to a discovery 1, if so what space problems will I have? Who can supply a winch bumper or can a lowline bumper be modified to fit the 8274 in?
