200Tdi Starting problems!

[@TriumphT100T]

Love the way you keep smiling, I think my 🧸 would have been well in the corner of the garage…

[@jamescaron6465]

One of my closest friends was a master mechanic for Ford. I wish he were still around because he would really appreciate your problem-solving and mechanical skills.

[@BritannicaRestorations]

It's logical captain....

[@jamescaron6465]

@@BritannicaRestorations Not for many people it isn't.

[@jonocharles1046]

If the injector pipes were all lining up ok...looks like the loose nut slipped timing. good job...neat spanner tool thingy.

[@BritannicaRestorations]

Thanks 👍

[@lawrencewagaki2959]

I like the double fuel filters fitting ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@stephenwhite5057]

What a professional, so good to see you work through that issue and get it running .

[@justjames8383]

I didn't know you could get the pump off without pulling the entire front cover and timing belt. That is great information to know about thank you

[@BritannicaRestorations]

Maybe this will help too kzbin.info/www/bejne/pWm1nXaOiremms0

Cheap on eBay.great kit.used to do 300 timing belts while the client had a coffee.200..different story!

Having a td5 defender & tdv6 disco, I find it so interesting watching rebuilds of engines/ gearboxes & all the marvellous things you do, it’s a dying game where people make do & mend in this throw away society. Keep up the good work!

[@BritannicaRestorations]

Thanks!

[@jnewzealand4677]

You are earning your money on this one, the owner should be very grateful for your diligence and expertise.

[@BritannicaRestorations]

Don't I know it!

[@jameskerr5756]

That engine sounds fantastic Mike. Ballache with the pump though but no problem for your expertise. I wouldn't have a scooby with the pump setup.

[@BritannicaRestorations]

I have seen domestic reconditioned pumps set up wrong in the past - there was fuel coming out - but not at the right time!

[@defenda2477]

We had a similar issue with a Cummins pulley was turning on the pump. Had a key way but no key. Started and run sweet as but after a couple minutes the pulley turned on the shaft. The spring washer had compressed flat.

[@BritannicaRestorations]

Seems to be more common than I thought!

[@grahamsmith3536]

Well spotted Mike, top job

[@BritannicaRestorations]

Thanks Graham!!

[@PeterMenzies-t4r]

Just as well you are a pretty savvy Mechanic as that would’ve foxed many. It helps if you’ve experienced something similar before but it’s also easy to jump to conclusions. Easy to end up wasting a lot of time and introducing additional faults if not careful unless you’ve narrowed down possibilities and through logical faultfinding isolated the fault.

[@BritannicaRestorations]

I became suspicious when I was informed it was a reconditioned pump - in the UK they would have set it up correctly, but here I don't think they know. I just wonder how they have set up the fuelling - I bet it is very lean

[@billb3444]

That sounded lovely Mike. A thing of beauty and a joy for ever. Well done Merlin you never give up. Jamesons night tonight then 🥃🥃🥃

[@BritannicaRestorations]

Glad you enjoyed it

Always.

Your video,s are invaluable just reassembling my 200tdi and like a numpty i undid the nut on the pump flange thinking it was keyed , so will be using your how to re-time on my pump .

Magic Mike strikes again, well done great job.

[@BritannicaRestorations]

Thanks!

[@ChrisLegg-i6s]

I sent mine for repair 300tdi. And wouldn’t start spend ages thinking it was me. I had to video it with the injector pipe loose and watched the inlet valves saw it was firing in 2 first after cylinder one inlet valve closed

[@BritannicaRestorations]

Seems to be common that the pump is OK, but the pulley is on wrong

[@ChrisLegg-i6s]

@ was the rebuild company not checking there work. They didn’t argue when I brought it back. I should have watched some of your videos on how to change that o ring on the top half looks easy the way you did it.

[@evanjones2539]

On the original Bosch fuel filter head, I'm sure there's a restricted banjo bolt on the return from the pump..... If it's gutless and rough running check that..

[@thedog2611]

It's all about the timing..!! I've just rebuilt my V8 and got the timing 180 degrees out. Got a build up of fuel and blew the valley gasket out... nearly blew my neighbour's head off too... I won't make that mistake again... 🤣🤣

[@BritannicaRestorations]

Lol!

[@lawsonhague2903]

Timing on a petrol is very different to a diesel

[@billb3444]

Feel for you Mike. Happened to my Covid RRC v8 EFI new engine. Started but ran like a bastard and backfired like buggery. Eventually sorted it but the shine on the new engine was a bit diminished by the end. The god of rovers only tests his most ardent disciples. Keep smiling 👍

[@BritannicaRestorations]

Thanks!

[@malcolmyoung7866]

My van has a VE pump… I had it running but the computer said ‘No’(as in pump timing too advanced to adjust) I know very little about pumps but stripped and ‘re sealed’ mine without too much issue. Setting the pump timing has been a journey of wrong info(completely in my case) and misadventure although now I have a few more thing to try out first before I ‘sack it’ and buy a new pump(reconditioned)

[@BritannicaRestorations]

You must have an electronic VE pump

[@alfredsteidle5035]

Mike, I had a real problem with this blue hoses. I tried several hoseclamps and tightened like hell. The hose is so stabil, really difficult to squeeze.

[@BritannicaRestorations]

These hoses were very tight to fit - had to use lubricant to get them to go on

No.

[@eburn71]

for servicing the injector pumps, what is typical cost for you in Canada if send to certified shop? i got quoted CAD 900-1500 depending on parts needed.

[@BritannicaRestorations]

Very expensive here - you should look into buying an outright rebuilt one from the UK. I have had rebuilt ones done in a shop here and similar problems as this video - timing out and fuelling set so lean it would hardly get into 5th (pretty economical, mind!) I can strip and rebuild them with no problems - except setting them up - has to be done on a test bench - and shops will not accept DIY pumps to be set up on their equipment, as there could be contamination that gets into their equipment - maybe they have not heard of filters...

[@eburn71]

@@BritannicaRestorations thank, indeed get a reconditioned one from the UK is very similar i pricing and more likely to be calibrated and tested to suit a LR.

[@BritannicaRestorations]

Exactly!

[@konigchris4884]

Can you do more v8 videos??

[@BritannicaRestorations]

If one comes along - don't see many nowadays

[@gregorydobson4307]

Made in Middlesbrough 😂😂

[@BritannicaRestorations]

Lol! Back in the Boro years ago, you could buy 'reconditioned engines' from the scrapyard, with a 6-month guarantee. They were all shiny black They used to power wash the old engines they took out of cars, paint them, and if they failed within 6 months they would give you another - hoping that it would get to the 6-month point!

[@MrAddisonroad]

Nowt wrong with Boro!…Blackett Hutton in Guisborough (guessing you used to live there) used to send all their motors to us in Boro 😊

[@kevinmurphy2739]

Who pays for the extra labor to fix the pump?

[@BritannicaRestorations]

fixed rate job

[@antonionunes998]

As always, it's not that Land Rover engines are shit, the problem is People working on them and finding excuses for their own mistakes. Those engines are boolet proof. I know, I have run since the start of 200 series, with millions of km on them and all i can say is that they stand a lot of shit.

I take it you have now owned a Freelander with a V6 in it...
