Shackleton Posted October 13, 2007 Share Posted October 13, 2007 Guys, firstly does anyone have a pic of a Defender Td5 R380 with the linkage still on? Can't find one anywhere on the net, or does anyone know does the linkage sit further forward on the Def compared to the Disco unit as it would seem when you're driving them or is that just a product of where the engine & box are mounted in the respective vehicles? The other thing is I pulled the fuel tank today, cleaned it and then pulled the pump. Someones cut a section of the bottom of the pump away and tried to reseal around the coarse matter filter at the bottom. The sender float is knackered where it's moulded to the sender unit so effectively the sender unit is knackered. Please tell me it's available as a seperate part??? Ah carp I hate buying new fuel pumps they're so frickin expensive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FridgeFreezer Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 Defender R380's (and LT77's for that matter) have a shift linkage that extends about 12" forward from the rear of the gearbox. RR & Disco ones have a linkage that is pretty much straight up from the back. The two are not interchangeable (ask me how I know) without swapping the whole a*se end of the gearbox - basically it's almost a rebuild.

Shackleton Posted October 14, 2007 Author Share Posted October 14, 2007 cheers and sorry, contrary to what it must seem I'm holding back on the questions. It so happens I was revisiting my cruise control queries and you answered this question on that thread some time ago. So sorry for making you repeat yourself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimAttrill Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 The sender unit is not available separately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
