Agreed. And I'm feeling for you bud. I will never touch one again.

 

Have a look at how you need to drop the engine out. Then look how the sub frame lines up with it all. Oh and the drive shafts.

 

Sorry de rail.

 

Last 1 I did I took the front end off and slid it out, don't think this one I have will be getting fixed, the guys no money..

 

 

I hate motor vehicles :thumbdown:

It is, but financially easier to just change the pump. Sorry that's the fitter talking.

 

Probably!

 

I'm guessing this is the 2.4 duratorq?

 

We've messed with changing the fuel metering solenoid but ended up replacing the injector pump (£700). Each time the thing has never been quite right after. We've also replaced a timing chain and that snapped in 12k miles. I suspect our facilities (or lack of them) are just not up to delving into a modern engine's internals. I'm also told that these pumps don't get on well with low sulphur diesel. Also bear in mind the pump is coded to ECU as is the instrument cluster so swapping bits becomes a nightmare.

 

I've a feeling if this engine starts playing up with more than 120k miles on it it's not worth fixing.

Has the van been bump started at all? Because if it has been will be the fuel injector system that needs replacing. Knocks out the timing and will sound terrible and no power at low revs but over 3-4ish revs quietens back down again. I learned this the expensive way :thumbdown:
