Paddy_SP Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 My project Landy is going well (for a change)... I've stripped and rebuilt the LT230, and have just taken delivery of an exchange LT77 from Ashcrofts, so that's the trans taken care of. I've now pulled the engine out of the donor vehicle and I'm working my way through it. As I'm not a diesel specialist, I was thinking that it would make sense to send the entire injection system off for an overhaul - does anyone here have any recommendations as to who I should go to for this? Somewhere in the SW would be good, however, I'm more interested in quality of workmanship than locality! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Last time my injection pump failed I took it to Helston Diesel near the boating lake, did a great job & cost around 400quid. reckon there must be a Bosch injection place closer to you though.

Western - many thanks for taking the time to reply - there are a couple of Bosch agents within fifty miles or so of here, but I'd rather go to someone with a known reputation than simply because they've got the right sign hanging outside! It's a shame Helston is such a long way... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimAttrill Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 But don't get something fixed if it isn't broke. Wait until after you have your motor running before spending the dosh. Maybe you don't need to spend anything at all.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bishbosh Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Particularly when you find out that each injector will cost about £65 + VAT to refurb..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
honitonhobbit Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Electro Diesel on the Sowton Estate in Exeter are good - they came reccomended by someone in the trade. As The Good Bishop says though it ain't cheap. I have just had a set of injectors overhauled - £312.00 inc VAT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 my current set of injectors came to 330 inc vat IIRC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
