L series Diesel Injection Pump

[JJH]

Hello,

Would any one be able to suggest a source for a new or exchange injection pump for a 1999 Freelander L series Diesel. I have been quoted by my local dealer that they can no no longer supply exchange units and can only supply new at $3674.75 two weeks delivery. My local diesel specialist said he would need to send it to the mainland because of it being EDC (I am in Tasmania near Launceston) which would cost anywhere between $1500 and $2500 to rebuild.

The problem is that the car wont run or start anymore, have had the error codes checked which found No1 injector electrical senor fault, which was replaced. However still no go, after checking more I noticed while cranking the engine and cracking the injector pipe nut there only seemed to be a pulse of fuel not the usual squirt you would expect. I then removed the fuel cut off solenoid on the pump only to find metal particals so the pump has some issues.

Any help or suggestion would be greatly appreciated.

Regards

I cannot really help - except to make sure it is the pump because they are very, very reliable.

You might try british 4wd in Tas who might be able to point you in the right direction British Four Wheel Drive - Land Rover & Range Rover Parts Specialist :: FREELANDER (http://www.british4wd.com/xcart/home.php?cat=4)

I have regularly obtained parts directly from the UK, and have purchased from the UK a new Garrett turbo and a Bosch certified rebuilt diesel pump in the past 6 months. The costs are noticeably cheaper, even after paying GST. The pump was approx A$1000 all up. Strangely there are no duties on diesel engine parts, and these are admitted freely.

I directly dealt with a Diesel Injection Pump company in the UK and had the pump within 10 days. Please email me and I will provide you the email contact details, or you directly phone and fax the company.

There is also a parts supplier in Melbourne called British Motor Imports, BMI, and they tend to do me good prices on freelander parts.

Worth a try.
