Leaking at throttle shaft. Discovery 12L engine, FI pump LR#ERR459. The only place I can find that has the parts is in the UK, the length of the throttle spindle bushing need to specified (20mm thu 40.5mm) does anyone know what size to pick? I don't want to take this thing apart then wait for the parts, I will if I have to though.

Diesel fuel injection service in Portland can get you the parts if you're doing a repair yourself. I actually had the throttle shaft replaced in one of my pumps there during a full rebuild they did a great job

Edit , don't know the sizing ..

I also have a front shaft seal if you need it

I just realized I have an entire bag of spare parts of the pump stuff. if you could post a picture of the part that you're looking for like a dig through the bag and see what I got

...taking it apart now...
The guys up in Portland were extremely helpful but they need the dims on the original bushing in order to send the correct one.

If you're going to take it apart inspect the rollers and pins if there's any type of corrosion on the whatsoever you should get a roller and pin replacement set too it's relatively inexpensive..
