    Sedimentor and Tank Sender Unit 300 TDi

    Hello all, I’m replacing my sedimentor unit in the rear off the tank of my ‘96 300 TDi Defender. Old and crusty and the plastic drain tab broke allowing air into the system. Field fix with 5 minute JB Weld packed in the hole got me back home from 75 miles away (in the snow). New sedimentor...

    Brand New Injection Pump (cracked flange) - advice needed

    Yeah, it sucks. Hard lesson to learn. After installing the pump, I was setting the timing on the exposed crank case pulleys. I inserted the pin on the injection pump and forgot to remove it on the “rotate the crank shaft twice” to make sure all the teeth on the belt match up properly. It...

    Brand New Injection Pump (cracked flange) - advice needed

    Hello all, I have a brand new injection pump from Rovers North. Purchased last month for $1500. Unfortunately, I cracked the flange on the pump body. ALL the rest of the parts and internals, including seals, are fine. But it now leaks at the front end. I can not return to Rover's North. Does...

    Loss of power, idles under throttling

    Thanks, you guys for the tips. I did pull the timing cover and inspected. All seemed OK, but the fuel injection pump seemed slightly off ….reset timing on bottom, flywheel, crank pulley, cam pulley, and adjusted the injection pump slightly - I honestly don’t know if it was out, but obviously...

    Loss of power, idles under throttling

    As some of you may know, I replaced the injection pump and timing belt, all the push rods and some rocker arms, and all the copper washers on injectors and banjo bolts at injectors. I put it all back together and it started! I drove around town on several occasions yesterday. It did well around...

    UPDATE: Further issues after replacing broken rocker arms and bent pushrods

    (BACK STORY)…. After replacing a new timing belt kit,….after three hours of driving, the relay pulley was set, proud, by the tension pulley bracket (relay pulley did not lineup with the hole on the tension arm). Huge mistake. This caused the new belt to slip towards the rear of the pulley...

    Tips on installing new Fuel Injection Pump

    So, I now have a new fuel injection pump that I am going to attempt to install tomorrow morning. It started raining and I had to stop, right now. I’ve got top dead center found, the pin, or in my case a 3/8 drillbit is in place and “secured.” All hoses and bolts are disconnected and the old...

    300 TDi Fuel Injection Pump woes

    What in particular about the solenoid are you curious about? I have “checked “it and hear clicking with the ignition key on. Could something else be wrong with it? I find it hard to believe that it worked yesterday and now that I’ve put the O-ring on it doesn’t work.

    300 TDi Fuel Injection Pump woes

    I vacuum pumped from the tank to the lift pump. From lift pump to filter, bled. From filter to intake at IP, bled. From intake to return bango, bled. Pressure at all these locations. Just nothing coming out at distribution head/injections and certainly not at the top (injection lines). All...

    300 TDi Fuel Injection Pump woes

    Well technically not ALL the lines….two at the distributor head for one go….and then all four once at the top rail/manifold. Again, it appears nothing is getting pushed from the main body past the o ring area at the distributor head. Even if I botched the o ring install, you’d think I’d have...

    300 TDi Fuel Injection Pump woes

    Zack? Rover North, Zack? Thanks! I’m kinda thinking the injection pump is “toast” but I just don’t know ? Hard to believe I drove Marlin 5 hours two days ago with no issues (other than the known o ring leak), and now fuel line challenges. Solenoid is a bitch to remove in situ as they say. And...

    300 TDi Fuel Injection Pump woes

    Hello all, My defender 110 300 TDI injection pump was leaking between the main body and the distribution head. After some research I decided to replace the O-ring in situ. A little bit of a challenge, but I got the old O-ring out and the new one in ….rolling the o ring over the bolts one at a...
