Is the lift pump before or after the filter? When i was cold and tired last night after changing the water pump on a Seicento, whilst undoing the pipes i thought it wont be a problem to sort out which ones which, but now it is. Oh on testing the original lift pump it seems to work, but im not sure how hard it's meant to suck.

Thanks, How do they plan to deter some of UK participants from entering?

Has anybody got a pic of the other type of lift pump so i know which one i dont want when i go to mm 4x4 tomorrow.

That seems very straight forward. so i need, 1x lift pump 1x gasket 2x nuts 2x olives

What does the workshop manual say about changing the lift pump? I just tried taking the wolf to the petrol station to fill up the second tank and it wont go five foot without stalling.

I have found a second sedimentor on the left hand side of the rear tank. So i have taken it off and this is what was inside. Im sure all of the STP diesel treatment was in here.

I generally use the tank at the rear. Which is the standard XD/110 tank. I then have the tank under the passenger seat (standard 90 i think). I’m assuming the rear tank will have to be dropped to get at the fuel gauge sender/pick up pipe?

It has been stood for sometime and had a problem with the engine not turning off when the ignition was turned off, this was suspected to be a faulty fuel solenoid. With use this problem went away so it was never changed. That couldn't be causing any problems now could it? Tell me more about fuel tank stack pipe filters?

Okay the chassis number is SALLDBA68VA120674 and it looks like this I would think it's the throw away one.

So why two then?

How much is a lift pump?

I have just undone the bleed nipple the primed the lift pump (not like any lift pump ive seen before) and it was pushing a lot of air out with diesel, so i suspected that the fuel filter was not full of diesel after five mins i gave up. I then tried bleeding the filter with the engine running, no success. I gave the accelorator a squeeze and it went great for a couple of seconds before stalling. I took the fuel filter off and it was 1/4 full with diesel. Here you go JST

Yes it is a real Wolf as in Land rover XD. I didn't bleed the fuel system just left it on tick over.

This is the closest i have got http://www.donington-park.co.uk/exhibitions/ but when you click on the link it does not work.

Okay this morning i started work on the Wolf. I took the bung out of the bottom of the sedimentor and a water/diesel mix came out. I took the sedimentor to pieces with the help of Les. It had a fair amount of sand in the bottom but nothing major. Bogbuster im assuming you were giving me the part number for a small and a large 'o' ring that’s inside the sedimentor? Because the dealership gave me two large one's. I cleaned it all out replaced the large'o'ring and put it all back together. I let the engine run for about 5 minutes and i had no change of rpm. I then removed the fuel filter and it was only HALF FULL OF DIESEL. I fitted the new filter (empty) and bolted the support back up. I started the engine (which sounded so smooth) and allowed it to run for half an hour whilst i had my breakfast. When i came back out it was still running so smooth and i thought the problem was solved. NO, i gave the accelerator a squeeze and it had its very slow response and then nearly stalled. I reversed the Wolf off the drive and drove off before i got fifty yards it had a loss of power attack and stalled. It then stalled doing a three-point turn and then again just before i got home. It has got a lot worse but i noticed this on Saturday, so i don’t think it's any action of my work toady. Does anybody think it could be the lift pump? Having two tanks im assuming i have two lift pumps? Should i try getting some fuel in that tank? I have now got to take my Fiat apart and find a coolant leak on that

Tim, PM sent.

What is the second washer bottle used for?

By the looks of it I would guess that the Hitachi is around the 15-16 tonne mark. I do feel sorry for the operator as I have dropped a 1.6 tonne 360 into a trench after it collapsed and I c**ped myself.

I hope you do go, then i can have a chat about which X-brake will suit my needs best!

Jim, PM sent.

I could be interested in the engine.

Just had a look at Simonr's website. Doesn't look like he will be displaying any wares there

Is anybody from this forum going to the British indoor 4x4 show at Donnington park on the 12th of Feb? Does anybody know who will exhibiting there wares there?

Now i want more details
