LoL i dont get it, then went for a drive and she was all good....I'm going to change the fuel lift pump on tuesday when i get some funds in and will be fixing the vaccum pump as well.

I hoping its something with the fuel pump we shall soon see but it was weird how it change idle any idea's on that???

Oh and is anything special on changing the lift pump and vaccum pump that i should know of???

cheers simon

Nope, both a straight forward job. You may need to rotate the engine with a spanner to line the cam lobes up when you put them both back in. Not a hard job, just a bit fiddly. matt

Ok so you have to do that for both the vaccum and fuel lift????

i take it you ut the spanner on the viscous fan nut and turn there??? How will you know when they are lined up, will it just go in and you tighten her up???

WEll all I can say is it's about bloody time lol. Went down to alienD2's workshop and found, fixed the problem which was the fuel lift pump. The old one once taken off made like a whistling noise when you pumed it like there was a hole in the diaphram, put the new one and she goes as a treat. Very happy man am I lol. Big cheers for everyone with there suggestions and even bigger thanks to alien for showin me the ropes on mechanics.

Cheers Simon

Awesome to hear mate, now you can get out and enjoy driving it

G'day Joker,

when I took my vehicle to my mechanic to install my body lift kit as I wasn't game enough in attempting to do so on my steep driveway while the car was there up on the hoist the Fuel lift Pump decided it didn't want to play the game anymore and crapped itself. So it was replaced.

so it's good you found the source of the problem and replaced it ,you'll get many more years of happy motoring out of your oiler.

cheers guys!!!!!!!

godd it was bloody killing me not knowing what the problem was..thing is alot of ppl have been saying the the lift pump usualy just gives up the ghost there and then but mine just kept on going and giving me different symtoms, hence why it took so long to find out what it was. I had a new lift pump in the back of my disco for about 2months LoL and i had a feeling it could be it but didnt do anything about it and try to find other was to fix the problem, so heres a lesson if you have that feeling to change something, and it has not been changed in a while just bloody do it!!!!! LoL

cheers simon

Ya know my motto mate...???

Never plan to do tommorow that which can be done next week,
Never plan to do next week that which can be done next month,
Never plan to do next month as there is always trips to do.

Just got to look in my shed to see it in action

Cheers.

So when are we heading out for a run now Simmo? Next weekend sound good to you.
