I have an '08 Puma 110 std sw with 60k miles on it - noticed the inner sill rails at the bulkhead end are corroded badly. In my old 90 you could bolt replacements in and out but the rail on a 110 goes from the bulkhead all the way back to the C pillar. I understand that you can unbold the bulkhead end but then need to drill out the spot welds on the b and c pillars to remove and then fit and re-weld etc. Sounds a right faff and whilst I can do the bolting and unbolting bit the welding is well beyond me. I presume that "just" bolding rather than spot welding would not provided suffici

A tale of woe: 300 tdi fuel injector pump

Removed the fuel stop solenoid again and refitted it without the plunger Same result - engine turns over no firing, no fuel being pumped out of injector - so must be a goosed fuel injector pump - right ? -
The head seal on my Bosch VE fuel injection pump has been leaking for a while; having read the internet on the potential of fixing it in situ with a nitrile seal I set about the task. it all went well - right up to the point where it was all refit, primed and ready to turn the ignition . Engine cranks on the starter - no firing. poop - checked the pump was getting fuel and the stop solenoid had voltage and tested it on the bench all good. However, despite checking and rechecking i just cant get any fuel through the pump and out of the injectors. i fear the worst. so now I h

300tdi injector pump : diagnosis request
cypermethrin posted a topic in Defender Forum (1983 - 2016)
Having fixed the wayward steering with new UJs I thought I would track down what I thought was an oil leak. Turns out its a fuel leak from the injector pump as shown in the pic below It seems as though its tracking down the seal line and you can see a drop of fuel collecting below. All fuel lines an injectors are dry. Looks as though the seal as blown ? What's the progosis - is it DIY fix ? thanks as always - Tim -

Steering box adjustment or UJs & bushes
cypermethrin replied to cypermethrin's topic in Defender Forum (1983 - 2016)
so OP reporting back for some further wisdom ..... panhard rod bushes changed and it’s helped a little but it’s still wandering ! i have checked the steering UJs and can’t get any movement out of the top one - but the lower one has slight movement in it which you can feel by holding the spline and applying up and down pressure. I presume that may be the culprit or should I be looking elsewhere first ? -

Thanks Mike and Western track rod ends recently replaced so next stop panhard rod! -
Drove my wifes 90 300tdi for the first time in awhile and nearly put the thing in a ditch due to the vague steering i find a need to constantly adjust the wheel by significant 3 inches either way to stay on course i know these things have vague steering but this is verging on the dangerous i have checked everything is tight and secure on the column - the steering box is a recon unit of about 4 years old how can i tell what needs to be done - whether its the box adjustment or bushes/UJs ? Treat me like an idiot and you wont be too far off the mark!
