TDi Injector pump

[Jeff]

Went to get a roadworthy the other day for the Defender, they said the injector pump is leaking, and needs to be replaced. Prices between $2-3000 for a new pump have meant it is sitting at home now until I have saved up for a new pump. Wifey is driving the Disco and I am back to riding my bike:(.

Is there a cheaper alternative? Are the pumps repairable?

Jeff, make sure they didn't mean the lift pump...some inspection centres wouldn't know the difference:mad:
If it is the IP, then they are definately repairable, and could be waayyy cheaper than what you have been quoted.

Pics would help:)

Definately the injector pump, the lift pump was replaced last year. The fuel is leaking out the shaft where the throttle linkage goes in. They are a Land Rover specialist.

OK, then yes the throttle shaft leak isn't unusual. Sometimes the shaft bush wears, and Orings etc will only slow it or prevent it for a short time, it then reappears.

the used pump Idea is a good one, but obviously you are taking a risk unless it can be shown to have had good clean fuel and hasn't seen huge KM. Still, it is a way cheaper option.

I don't have any good used pumps left I'm sorry, only parts ones.

I,m not sure but I think he might have gone under water there.If he is up and running he does good deals and I would recommend him.

no murry didnt go under water, he had my disco there during the floods, i rang him a few times to make sure there was no way possible my disco was going to get wet,

btw he knows his stuff and prices are very reasonable...
