Urgent advice please before I part with cash

[NorthDirt]

Hi all,

About to collect my new toy on Saturday and I've had a call from the seller saying that the fuel pump has failed ('disintegrated' was the word he said the garage described it as).

Work is to take place to make good (i.e. new pump), but I wondered if there might be any secondary considerations I need to be cautious of as a result of a fuel pump failure?

It's a '92 LN130 and has had a hell of a lot already spent on it - just wonder if I need to walk away or is a fuel pump swap not likely to impact anything else?

Thanks in advance

Paul

Walk away and get a 3.0!

Fuel pump disintegrated???? Sounds like it's been well looked after, the cylinder head will be next.

You need to define 'disintegrated'. If the timing belt has been damaged, or broken, walk away.

I would walk away from any LN130 but that's just my opinion mate.

You have one?

Thanks for the input so far everyone.

The head has been replaced in the summer (genuine Toyota parts), along with timing belt etc.

I'll see if I can get the full report of if it has damaged the t.belt (and also the definition used for "disintegrated").

I don't suppose anyone has a good 3.0 they're looking to sell do they?...

Really looking forward to Surfing again, but this may well delay me for a couple of weeks :-(

You have one?

Yep - I'd never buy another one though. (reason I'm sorting out the 3.0)

Did you notice my lexus questions ? - I think you have one ?

i have a LN130 its been ok i have had no engine problems but i have blown a few rads the 3ltr is far better and the 2.4 in my opinion users just has much diesel has a 3ltr if not more
there no much difference in running a 2.4 and a 3ltr only power
they both drink like oliver reed

I do, but it's not got heated seats.

If nobody answers you tonight, I'll nip up and look at the breaker in our local scrappy's.

Thanks Andy but there's no need for you to go out of your way to find out.

I'm sure someone here will have some of the switches lying about.
