In Second Gear
Hi everyone mark here in france (im new here).
I have an old Discovery 1 (3 door) with nearly no rust :-=).
After having the cam shaft cog undo and the big mess that it made. I changed my 200tdi engin for a 300tdi that i got in a more recent D1 that had been sitting in a neigbiurs field for some years. After griding off the 200tdi engin mounings and fitting her ( welded on ) from the 300tdi chassi with a new clutch assemble, timing kit + lots of bits... she ran for around 700km. Then the engine raced for about 5 seconds (the time it took me to stop and pull over), and she switched of on the ignition and since she wont start.
I put her on syphon feed (with super clean fuel) with a little had pump so as to bleed here throw. I took the end off the stop celenoide to make sure the fuel would go throw, she blead thow to there easily. I took the injector pipies off back of the pump and turned her over manytimes and not a drop of fuel comes out of the pump. I think the pump is in need of more surgery than i can do. I carnt afford a reconditioned pump at £550.00 + vat + post + deposit + return of old pump ( i just dont have the cash at the mo and need to work with her (doing lighing in musical events).
Q: So, i still have the 200tdi injecter pump, can i fit it on the 300tdi and will it run correctly or is there tweeks to do.?
Q: Is there already a forum on this subject, i tried to find one but no joy yet.
Sorry if this was long and thanks to everyone.
Talk soon.
