western Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 on 200tdi the spacer is built into the plate the lift pump bolts on to. http://www.lrseries.com/shop/product/listing/6124/ETC7929-ENGINE-SIDE-COVER.html my Delphi lift pump has been on for a fair while now without any problems. http://www.johncraddockltd.co.uk/land-rover-defender/defender-90-and-110/parts/engine/etc7869-g-delphi-fuel-lift-pump-2-5d-2-5td-and-200tdi.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boydie Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 Unless you feel a need to stay original consider an electric unit, wire it to the fuel cutoff solenoid on the FIP and locate it on the chassis rail just after the sedimenter unit. They work better than the mechanical unit and make life very easy when you change your fuel filter and you want to purge the air out of the filter, - just turn on the ignition, open the bleed screw and the electric pump will do the rest. Oh, and you can buy one on fleabay for a lot less than a new OE mechanical pump. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
