With hindsight I should have had the second set he was selling too, and put them up for sale on eBay Aus. :(
34.00 pound $82,00 AU, $30Au Freight not bad really:cool:

If youve got a break off pump then I would do what Dave said to do and there is no advantage in hand priming it as that only primes the lift side of the system.
As far as removing and fitting the injectors goes:
a. use 2 spanners (one tube spanner if you have it) so you dont turn both the fitting and the nut and break the line when removing and retightening them.
b. Leave the lines loose on the injectors and crank until you see diesel and no bubbles coming from the lines.
In doing this, it may start so if they are only half a turn (as stated before) you can nip them up fairly quickly but be aware that it is a fluid under extreme pressure so make sure you dont get in the line of spray as it will penatrate the skin and cause big dramas.
C. Dont touch the lines at the pump as want to keep as much fuel in the lines and loosening them will just drain them and make it take longer to reprime.
I have never had problems starting new injectors in other engines but Ive never had to do a 300TDI.
No, only things that have been changed in the whole engine and driveline are alternator, drivebelt tensioner, coolant bottle, hoses and belts and I've just replaced the torque converter.Quote:

In the 4yrs I've owned my TDI, I have replaced the following:
New Head
Alternator
Starter Motor
Radiator
New Pwr Steering Hoses
Timing Belt
All new Cooling Hoses
New Rotors Front and rear
New Brake Pads
Rebuilt the transfer case
Raised the girl 2"
Put offset trailing arms front and rear
New Driveshafts Front and rear
Got rid of the stupid Ruber Donut on the rear driveshaft( Highly Recommend this if you have a 2" lift )
:cool:
You all ask why???????????????????????????????????????
Because it has been a sensational vehicle, alot of the items replaced were done as precautions, as I bought the car at auction. Ask me if I will buy another Disco!!!!! the answer would be YES!!!!!:cool:
I got mine from Paddocks a couple of years ago when converting the Rangie to a Tdi - about $400 landed.
Just remember to remind them to send via Royal Mail - to avoid the Import Duty / GST etc if using a Courier Company (less than $1000 inc freight had not duty if via mail).
