aerocorey Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 I am in need of a boost diaphragm. The one and only place within an hour drive of here that it seems I can get parts from is a Ford dealer. This Ford dealer won't even try to order my boost diaphragm for a week. Then they won't say how long it will take to arrive. Typical Italian customer service. I've found lots of places online, but I can't find boost diaphragms.

western Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 try 'wastegate actuator' instead, or one of the turbo suppliers should be able to sort you one, LR don't list the actuator as a seperate part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not on the turbo. It's in the fuel pump. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 Ah, ok you need to find a LUCAS CAV dealer for that diaphragm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aerocorey Posted December 23, 2008 Author Share Posted December 23, 2008 Ah, ok you need to find a LUCAS CAV dealer for that diaphragm. What's LUCAS CAV? I haven't seen anything like that here. I'm getting a little discouraged. The lady I bought this truck from told me it was easy to find parts around here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 Lucas CAV is the injection pump makers, if you send Les & PM I'm sure he will pass on the part number of the diaphragm. how to replace here in our tech archive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reading that in the tech archive a few days ago is what led me to believe my boost diaphragm is bad. I've also already got the part number. Only thing I don't have is a place to buy one. Very frustrating. I tried giving the parts guy a part number. He doesn't even want the number until the 29th when he's ready to place the order.

Jon White Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 You'll be lucky to find anyone thats got that one the shelf! I cant see a part number for it on EPC, which means its probably not got a landrover part number. If not then you'll have to track down a Lucas dealer. As TD's are old hat and not well liked, few independant places would keep the parts on the shelf. Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lars L Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 Try to find some diesel specialist, Lucas-Cav pumps are common on tractors, forklifts and different agricultural equipment. Maybe not the diaphragm for a TD, but you'll never know, there might be something else using the same pump. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Les Henson Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 The diaphragm is still readily available from Delphi. About £11 each if I remember right. I always have one or two here in case I need them. Les. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
