Non of the above, fit a td5.

So I went and sorted it this morning. First thing I did was try and blow down the line from the tank. I couldn't blow down it at first and then with a pop it cleared. So there must be something floating around in my tank that blocked it. I fitted the new Delphi lift pump I picked up yesterday while I had the pipes off. Thanks for your input.

I will have a good look later, I'm currently moving house I did notice that the fixed infeed pipe in the lift pump could be turned so it could have been sucking air in.

Never met Drew, but I have had a look around there current premises, he's come a long way from the stone shed on the farm. He will be truly missed.

I have thought that. It's a new tank so shouldn't be any crud in there. The manual pump leaver on the lift pump had resistance to it then had no resistance and no fuel was coming out of it.

Evening all, I've had a bit of a problem tonight and would like to hear your thoughts on the matter.
So I've been doing a daily 76 mile commute in my 300tdi 130 for the last few weeks with out any problems. Tonight I did the 33 miles home with no problems, I stopped for half an hour and then went out again, didn't get a mile when it started dying on me. It would rev up and then fall then rev then fall to the point of not running. After some investigation no fuel was coming through the lift pump. With a make shift water bottle filled with diesel fuel tank I managed to get it to a safe place. So I suspect it's a knacked lift pump, do you agree with me? The only reason I'm querying it is I thought they would still run without the lift pump working.

Very neat. I got fed up of trying to find bits in the dark in the back of my 130. A quick look on eBay and a 5 meter flexible led strip light was on its way for £4.90 plus postage. I have stuck it around the inside of my ifor top, it creates enough light to happily work at the back of the motor.

Let us know how you get on.

It sounds like dim dip relay to me. Big pink relay behind gauges.
-
The good thing about the hose pipe is that you can move it around so it's not just clearing one spot. I have thought about doing one like retroanaconder and then having it join a pipe that ran along the door card with holes in it blow air up all the window. Would need on/off for when not needed so you can rest your arm on it.

My temporary solution works very well.
I just remove them when it's not raining.

If you use a stumpy one cilinder 6 ends up somewhere in the heater! :-D With the normal length V8 R380 the 606 will be in the same location as it would be with a autobox. I can imagine when you use adaptorplate from GAZFAB or the like, ment for an V8 autobox, all will bolt together also (belhousing/engine wise). In that case clutch story still needs to be written off course.
I remembered that we're on about fitting a 606 into a range Rover. I've been looking at fitting one into my defender where a stumpy would be better.
-
I would to do the same eventually. The only problem that has come up is that the tdi r380 bell housing is rather long which might push the engine to far forward. So a stumpy r380 might be better.
-
Those sheets must have been very cheap to warrant 2290 mile round trip. It's good to say a older defender doing that distance. I'm not sure if I can trust my 300tdi to do 60 motorway miles and back at the moment.
-
Have you tried it in low box and diff lock and out again?
-
I think it's the top rear transfer to gearbox mounting bolt that should be shorter.

There are loads of led bars out there now. If you want lift time guarantee go for laser or rigid industries. There is dasal which are UK made lights or off road light bars and vivid lightbars from the US. Some of he vivid ones can change colors and flash/strobe which look quite bling, just not for road use.

Syncro Ross. Shabs put a post up on facebook last week and it was mentioned in the comments.
-
Just put it out there that I believe there is someone testing an uprated R380 behind a 606 with 550nm using an adopter plate. For those not wanting huge power set ups it would be an easier way to go.
-
I got myself a near new copper brass one that my mate had sat in his shed as a spare. Will be fitting it at the Weekend.
-
This engine conversion is quite popular in the Nissan patrol. You can buy the adaptor plates on eBay for the patrol manual box, there might be an adaptor for the patrol auto box.
-
Which one? Arrow radiators Melksham or arrows radiators Bristol.
-
Thanks for the reply's. Still not sure what to do. I'm leaning towards getting a second hand one recored with 4 cores.
-
Daan what did you go for? I need a new rad, and can't have my defender off road while getting mine re cored. Don't really fancy plastic jobbie. So it's either get a second hand one and get re cored with larger cores or try an Ali one off eBay.

I've got the v8 fifth gear fitted to my r380 in my tdi 130 which has a higher ratio than than mt82. Also have a 1.2 transfer box fitted so makes a great cruiser and never found it a problem when towing.
