    is the shaft simply an interference fit in the pump......?

    that sounds like a design imperfection........

    the cheap ones are a press on fit into the master gear (depending on pump type) the middle of the road seem to have it machined as one and a few have it as a circliped in place item...

    Interference fit isnt that bad, its not a heavy duty pump...

    and its failure does not cause what is considered to be a catastrophic failure.

    unless youve fitted Ram steering as opposed to the more traditional ones.

    I think it wouldn't be good to drive too far without an alternator and a waterpump. Or can you get short belts?

    I had a look at my PS pump this morning - no leaks, no noise,no problems (other than the chewed belt), it's just I can pull the pulley and shaft out of the front of it till it almost hits the radiator cowling.
    New pump going in this afternoon.

    The ps pump on my 200Tdi Disco died a few years ago by seizing solid just north of Dalwallinu.

    Luckily this was at the end of a 4000km Centre & Kimberley trip. Caused a few exciting moments and made a lovely noise. I think it was my fault though, there was water in the fluid.

    if you get yourself a lump of rope you will find that those clever buggers at Landrover Headquaters have designed the pullies paths so that you can wrap an alternate belt well enough to make it work if you skip a pully or 2...

    getting the right size belt tho......

    the solution is simple if your in that dire straights grab some 8-12mm rope and make an endless sling using a long splice, cross tuck the ends to hold them and you'll be pleasantly suprised at how far that will get you if you take it easy.

    it was the tensioner

    And the culprit is....the tensioner.....the internal rubber spacer/washer? had worn through with age, or perhaps more likely by trauma when the first belt shredded itself, and this meant that there was a slight missallignment on the tensioner pulley...resulting in the belt riding off the next pulley...

    the reason that I could run my old belt was that it is slightly longer than a new one which meant that the tensioner sat in a different position, in which the misallignment was not so bad.

    Moral of the story....fiik...diagnosis is everything....but it seems that dayco belts are fine on the 300tdi as the main LR parts sellers use it without problems..accoding to them. Even though the ribbing seems quite differnet to other brands?
