injector pump
17. May 2009 at 16:54

After a few weeks of code 64 coming and going and doing the advised work I'm still having problems getting Syd to fire up once warm. Have tried the diesel magic thing several times, replaced leak off pipes and changed battery and a few filters. If I run the engine for more than 15 mins I know I will have problems starting Sad

once the engine is cool enough for the glow plug light to come on I know it will start straight away. I carry a few litres of water and a home made funnel so when I get stuck I pour water on injector pump and within a few mins it starts. Its getting a real pain parking places in quiet spots so I can tinker with my engine so is there anything else anyone can suggest I try Huh

Paying a garage to change the pump is not an option and I think its out of my league to do Cry

May 2009 at 17:27 Hmmm - sounds like you might need a new injection pump. Had mine done last year for, wait for it, err, just over £1200! Hopefully, Omegatoy or TheBoy will be along soon to possibly shed some further light on your situation, and before final condemnation.

I got it a few weeks ago to run around in while I fixed the petrol estate Sad

but Ive spent more time fixing the td. It came with 12months MOT but there is no way it should have passed, next time I buy a car I will take someone with me who knows what to look for Embarrassed

Time to stop spending money on them I think, thanks for the help and will keep on with the cold water until it the pump stops altogether Cry

I have learnt alot about them so may strip them down and sell as parts Cheesy

May 2009 at 20:45 i understand that chipping them may overcome this issue (but will shag the box if auto), failing that, I think there may be a bodge for this on the range rover forums, to ensure the glowplugs come on...

Sorry Ali, but there's no 'how to' on the Forum.

I took mine to the local fuel-injection people, and let them get on with it. Although it was a colossal expense, I intend keeping mine for a few years yet. It's a good tow-car for our caravan, and only covers around 5000 miles a year - much of that being on holidays. My view is that it's worth more to me than some smooth-talking car salesman.

Most importantly, Mrs Sethsmate loves driving it, and it accomodates four grandchildren with ease!

not an easy job!!! plus you need the special tool that holds the chain sprocket for the pump in place which takes the place of the tensioner assembly on the alternator belt, getting the injector pipes off the back of the pump is a thingy of a job without breaking anything too!!!!inside them are tiny little washers/seals which are easily dropped without noticeing as well!!

there are those that have done it but it isnt an easy diy job!!!
