reb78 Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 With a UJ, vibrations i can understand, but why the loss of power? What make lift pump did you fit? Britpart ones have been known to last for very short periods... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaxDef Posted February 13, 2011 Author Share Posted February 13, 2011 yep, it was one from BP... I ordered it from Paddock's but they didn't specify the make. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reb78 Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 Hmmmm. See what the others reckon, but i wonder if it is still the lift pump since the problem was solved, allbeit breifly, when you fitted the new one. I had one of these on my 200tdi for ~3 years: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Land-Rover-Range-Rover-200TDi-Fuel-Lift-Pump-DELPHI-/250379769435?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item3a4bcc165b It failed eventually (lasted more than a couple of miles thankfully) and i had no choice but to go to a dealer and they stung me for £130 for a genuine new one!!

sharpy1980 Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 +1 vote for what reb said, I also fitted the one in the link as b/p ones are known to be poo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaxDef Posted February 20, 2011 Author Share Posted February 20, 2011 Well, it's been a few days : I changed the UJ's in the front (they were both gone...) What a difference ! Most of the problems are solved, but there is still the one with the fuel lift pump... I'm getting air in somewhere (hence the lost of power) but I checked every tube and connection, and there are no leaks, so to me it must be the pump that isn't 100% airtight. Last week I contacted Paddock to explain the problem I had with the pump. after a few e-mails they agreed to send me a new one from another manufacturer (Delphi, I hope) and free of charge ! So, as soon as I receive the new pump, it's going to be installed. I keep you posted on the result ! So far you all have a great help to me ! Thanx !!

JJB Serenity Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 Glad you've made some headway. Paddocks seem to be good when you have a problem with something purchase from them, they try to resolve any issue with the minimum of fuss. I guess the moral of the story is that the problem is sometimes not just one thing but a combination of problems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowie69 Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 Good news Max Yep, moral of the story is that LRs rarely have just one thing wrong with them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
