Something you should know about your fuel lift pump Land Rover 200tdi / 300tdi

www.paddockspares.com/ STC1190 & ERR5057 Often the lift pump will give the impression that it is not working ..watch this video clip to find out why............

[@tomtom590]

hi thanks by leak back to you mean the little black pipes that link the injectors together cheers

[@Hannible100]

Nice well spoken vid dude. If the lift pump is not working correctly will this cause my engine to turn over for ages before it starts? i have brought a new lift pump but have not yet fitted it yet. Thanks

[@techdavey1000]

Nice video! Been there done that and it was 4th pump lucky! Original Delphi would blow but not suck. I found this out after messing with the sedimenter bowl. Pump #2 ran OK for two miles. Pump #3, a cheap make had no nuts or olives so wasn't bothered with. Pump #4 a Delphi that cost me twenty five quid worked a treat! Pump #2 when taken off looked OK but it was noticed that its rock-hard brass olives hadn't really squeezed down properly even though the pipes were nipped. I should have paid the £25 at the start. Caveat emptor!

[@trailerfitter2]

Dare I guess the cheaper pump was a well know Land Rover parts brand beginning with B?

[@techdavey1000]

***** Yup it certainly was although most people call them Sh**part! (of course they don't tell you that on fleabay!)

[@trailerfitter2]

That unfortunately techdavey1000 is only gained through experience of their parts. I have heard so many complaints about them it is surprising they are still in business.

HI, i have fuel leaking out from the back of the electronic pump where the fuel pipes go in and also it seems theres a leak at the primer pump. the lever was not in the stowe posistion and had diesel on the end of it slowly dripping. this should not cause it to leak though should it? is there another part of it where it might be leaking? sees like a solid unit so not sure where the leak would be unless its maybe where the leaver goes into the acutal pump housing? any tips would be very appreciat

[@techdavey6465]

Bad olives made from hard-brass can cause loads of trouble.

[@fprendergast1]

Great video. In the midst of doing it i somehow managed to lose one of the two securing bolts! Do you know the size of these bolts? Looks like an M8 25mm?

[@mattluszczak8095]

....did ya find your bolt😂

[@jamesthecat666]

can anyone help. i have a 95 300tdi with 155k on it. it cranks over for about 5-10 seconds wether it is hot or cold. replaced all water sensors. glow plugs are fine, no leaks.

Thermostate volve is not working

[@LandersWorkshop]

Just had a problem with my 300 Defender, if I go downhill or uphill, the engine now has a tendency to cut out. It seems to do it more if the fuel is jostled at a guess? Really weird. Is that likely a lift-pump issue?

[@nidgen5523]

Did you resolve this issue. My friend TDi is doing the exact same, cutting out without prior warning. Thanks

[@tomtom590]

@trailerfitter2 hi my 200tdi tends to take a little more turning over when i have low fuel why is that cheers

[@nickspc8348]

Hi, got a Disco 95 300 TDi starts okay but goes off after a short distance. the engine shakes before going off. Recently changed the fuel pump but same problem persists. Always goes off after a short distance say 10yards..help?

[@trailerfitter2]

you may have a partial blockage in the pipes or the fuel pipe connection on the fuel tank sender may be rotten and letting air in. The banjo on the fuel filter is a good place for dirt to collect and cause a blockage.

[@trailerfitter2]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/np3NemSIhNCHaNE there are a few videos on this play list that may help you

[@nickspc8348]

Thank you, will revert to you after i check that out

[@trailerfitter2]

okay cool.

[@nickspc8348]

Hello again, feedback from my end, i managed to fix the problem, issue was the intake pipe to the fuel pump had been interchanged with the return pipe from injector pump (out to tank). Stupid mistake by one of my mechs. Thank you so much. New problem.. the ticking noise from the tdi is so irritating, many forums suggest the vacuum pump (Wabco pump failure) What's your take on this loud ticking noise ?

[@Stevenpoxon77]

Can anyone help me iv got a diesel leek coming out of the lift pump underneath a manufactured hole of the pump, I have a defender 110 200tdi engine.

[@trailerfitter2]

+Steven Poxon You need to replace the lift pump. The diaphragm is split.

[@ameenahmad3920]

Iifty pump seal damge use 14 mm key Tite to in out pipe disel tank and fip

[@mbm58]

Sorry. my English reading is better than hearing, as fgar I have understood I have to feel the external lever actuating in the internal one? 1:35?

[@trailerfitter2]

yes that is quite correct. If it is in the pumping position then it cannot be primed. There is a positive engagement feel when it is in the right position.

[@martinbaker9770]

I have fitted a new lift pump on my 300tdi , now have a air leak in fuel system somewhere, any advice would be great full.

[@trailerfitter2]

Martin Baker have you got the right olives fitted to the unions to the pump? suck side will draw in air if wrong.

[@Hannible100]

@trailerfitter2 hi fitter guy you know those idiot things you talked about ,, wellll yea i,m the idiot lol; I put them on the wrong way round. I changed them and she started first time runs beautifully ; reason i changed the lift pump was because she wouldent start after a few days still. I worked the lift pump and she went first time so thats what i figured. So she,s runnin ok now Thanks your vid was a great help if i,m in the shit again i,ll refere to them once again thanks Mark

[@Hannible100]

i,m going to change the lift pump this afternoon will let you know , the lift pump came without any olives ( and it was a bank hollyday yesterday grrrrrr! )

[@davidholt7348]

[@trailerfitter2]

The block was prepared for a job. then removed after vehicle rotted away. Long time ago now

Disco detracts from directions about defender

[@trailerfitter2]

Only if you are a purist.... 🤣

[@garthrichert5256]

So simple, because the engine is not in the vehicle. Not very helpful.

[@philprice12]

Why this irritating music? Doesn't need it. Phil

[@trailerfitter2]

No pleasing some people is there phil?

[@overnighter]

Can it be fuel returning back to tank through the pipe?
