Hello, since putting a disco 200tdi engine into my old 90 I have had many miles of happy roving. Unfortunately I now have a problem seemingly the disintegration of the injector pump? A while back after going to work I turned off the ignition and the engine didn't stop, I removed the stop soleniod tested it and all was fine, I then put it back and all was well for some time. Then it happened again, this time I noticed a small fragment of metal which was obviously the cause of the soleniod sticking, anyway I cleaned it off and once again all was well. Today I was driving along and decided to give her some beans (something I don't often do) and the engine began to hold back, release throttle and she runs fine and is completely drivable but every time you try to open her up she holds back.
My questions are:
are the guts of my injector pump falling apart?
Is this something members have heard of before?
How long is it likely to last before catastrophic failure of pump?
Many thanks for any advice, Jamie.
