Anderzander Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 p.s. Anderzander, i have a photo with all the measurements on for cutting a hole in the floor to change the pump if you want it, save you lying underneath with a tape measure. Yes please ! I can file it away for when I'm ready. I've been looking around to see if there is some kind of hath or cover that I could fit to make it a bit neater too. Found a few marine hatches of the right size, but they are all plastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon119 Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Well hopefully attached are the pictures of what I did. One shows the dimensions for cutting the hole and the others show how i made a cover for the hole. I just use gaffa tape to hold the cover in place as I plan on fitting a rubber mat to the rear of the landy when funds allow. I have uploaded the pics to an album in my forum gallery so if the link doesn't work just go to my profile, and look for my albums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discomikey Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 i dont want to teach grandma to suck eggs, is the fuel filter blocked? i take it there is fuel in it as you have now managed to start it. i would check injector washers next and then do a leak off test on the injector system is it running correct fuel pressure?

Anderzander Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Excellent Simon -thank you. Two questions: any noticeable affects from cutting the brace? Looking at this pictures I found - I would guess not: http://www.briandorey.com/docs/defender-crossmember-replacement/11-floor-supports-fitted.jpg And, any measurements from the side ? To place it across the width of the floor ? Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon119 Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 Yep that would be a useful measurement wouldn't it! It's 12" from the near side edge of the tub floor to the edge of the cut out. And i haven't noticed any difference in the floor since cutting the brace, with the hatch back in you wouldn't know any difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve200TDi Posted November 4, 2013 Author Share Posted November 4, 2013 Well, it looks like Simon119 was right. I replaced the injector seals and it works fine now. I had obviously caught it just after it had failed because I could not see anything wrong with the copper washers or O-rings. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
