Christian also could get the genuine FoMoCo pump from Advanced Factors for GBP114 plus delivery.Quote:

He might of had it hanging around after Fabian’s build.
Wouldn’t be many manual transmissions n Australia but from what I read you can crack off the crank bolt with the auto flywheel lock pin.

So are you a Patreon - or does he just reply to you?
Tell him he needs to post some coffee making video’s like how to make a Cafe mit Schlag to have on a cold winters day when working on the LR, or perhaps a few random cat videos it he wants to make money on YouTube.
Possibly a few “oh no oh no oh no no no no no” videos on TikTok to get the truck drivers or Toyota drivers on board.
He could even set up calls from Fabian to use Capone’s “oh no” as a ringtone - that would get the view numbers up into the millions.
(Sorry - off topic - oh no…..)
They answer all questions on YouTube comments.Quote:

Given how many ads come up, it is a pity they make so little from the YouTube videos (he loses money on every video he posts). They need a lot more subscribers and viewers on YouTube before YouTube start making more decent payments to them.
Looking forward to the update on Fabian’s engine since the rebuild.
Speaking of pump failures and YouTubers - I see Outback Discovery has gone silent in recent times.
Hope he managed to get the D3 back on the road.
And the reason they make so little is the reason Google is one of the most "valuable" companies on the globe.Quote:

I won't be doing the belts or pump myself, will get my landie indie up here in Hervey Bay area to do that, he is 10 mins up the road, drops me back home or lends me his D3 to buzz about in.
Actually we don’t really know if the Ford or FAI pump is better. LR Time has all the gear to do a comparison test but never compared a new Ford pump against a new FAI pump.Quote:

I do believe the Ford pump is cheaper than the FAI pump, as long as you don’t buy it in a LR box.
One thing not know is who is the actual manufacturer of the Ford oil pump - is it Ford themselves or a supplier to Ford? We do know Ford have made many updates to the pump over the years.
