Thread: Injector pump leak

This is the problem with diesels. They're great until something goes wrong and then it's big money time. I know someone with a 100 Series who had the same thing: a small leak that cost them $3000 for a rebuilt pump. I believe they were told that it's the new low-sulphur diesel that was the cause, but I don't know if that's true.

can you be little more detailed? Are you saying that the one on ebay isnt the right one? So is mine non EGR or is the one on Ebay non EGR?

Ace, diesel injector pumps are not something you rebuild yourself, unless your a diesel injector pump repair bloke.

Better off, cancelling Cooma and save the pennies for the inevitable.
Who knows you could be stranded out there in the harse NSW wilderness, only you, Stacey, Marcos and a LR with no go.

How much for your campsite at Cooma ??

I have looked around the pump and its coming from the top of the pump around the spring on the throttle linkage area. There are no pipe or anything nearby, or above this area that could be leaking. Is there an o-ring or seal under the spring or something? I didnt want to start pulling stuff appart until i had an idea of what i was looking for. Matt

Matt, I reply to your post advising that to R&R and rebuild an injector pump is not a job for an inexperienced person.

I had a D1 injector pump removed, recalibrated and refitted for about $800 a couple of years ago. There were no parts required except for gaskets etc. The diesel mechanics fitted the pump to a fancy calibration device and reset the pump to the higher end of LR's specificatons. It also has to be correctly fitted for timing purposes. The D1 felt like a rocket and fuel economy dramatically increased after this work.

Cheers

the pumps are the same except for the electrical variable resistor on the trottle linkage for the EGR which I normally disconnect

Get an expert to do it not something for us amateurs. removal is possible but any work on the injector pump itself is for qualified people only.
