Fuel Leak TDi 200
Hi, I'm new here and looking at buying a 94 Disco 200 Tdi 5 door.
It has a fuel leak coming from somewhere in the injection system but other than that it looks pretty straight and is only $5k.
Has anyone got any advice on common fuel leak issues on the 200?
I haven't seen much on the net so I figure there probably isn't a common fault but if anyone knows I'd love to hear?
I don't mind fixing stuff but don't want to buy a $5k repair bill obviously and living in the bush in SA there are hardly Land Rover dealers/experts on every corner. Fuel system parts seem relatively reasonably priced so it doesn't appear to be a major concern but you guys are the gurus.
I have seen there are a few issues with the lift pump and hoses in the 300 but haven't seen anything on the 200.
Thanks for your help.
Cheers
PS. Anything else I should be really looking for? I've done some homework but any more info you guys can help with is appreciated.

Mate i would find out were the leak is from before you buy,if it is coming from the injector pump your $5000 disco could be a $6500 disco if the pump needs a rebuild,this is worst case though.also ask how long since the timing belt has been changed,these should be done approx every 80000km,hope this helps

Thanks Lewy, I've discovered (pardon the pun) it's a 300 (June 94 build) and is leaking under the throttle return spring which seems to point at a pump rebuild. I added a post to the 300 injector pump section but if you can help with an estimated changeover cost that'd be great?
Considering I'm in the bush distance from the market is a consideration and if I could do it for less than $1k I would be happy but much above that and I think I could do better.
Thanks again for your reply.
Any idea where I should contact for a replacement price?
PS Timing belt is quite new (less than 10000km ago)
