Any Surf Owners on the Isle of Wight - Need Help - Please

[MrPH]

Hi.

Is there any handy Surf Owners on the Isle of Wight that could come and have a look at my 2.4 Surf,

It's got the normal Diesel Fuel Leak

and was wondering if someone could come and have a look and either help with the repair or repair it for us,

I'm willing to pay for the time,

I've ordered a Fuel Pump Repair Kit.

Thanks Chaps

Oh I'm based in Freshwater

Hi & where is it leaking from?

If its the top it can be done in situ (just mind the little cable inside) and this is pretty helpful ....http://www.toyotasurf.asn.au/techsite/fuelpump.htm, if its underneath......http://www.hiluxsurf.co.uk/showthread.php?t=41465.... If i remember right you need a 32" spanner to get the valve 'nut' off (sorry cant remember the proper term)and some hex keys for the 4 bolts on the top.

My truck had a leak from the top ...... replaced the seals......then i think this caused the other internal seals to fail (sods law)......had to take the pump to a diesel specialist (boat shop) for the recon of the pump... was worth it though and haven't had any issues since.

Hope this is of help

Just to add to what rob has said....I'd recomend the Allen keys on a socket rather than a standard key, I found with mine that the off centre pulling nature of the standard key is more inclined to round them off.

Aye Andy's right about the key's.

Right,

I've gone for it

I've ordered the following lot:

• Engine Thermostat
• Engine Water Pump
• 2x Bottom Radiator Hose
• Top Radiator Hose
• Air-Con Belt
• Timing Belt Kit
• With Tensioners + Idlers
• Pulley Spring
• Engine Fan Belt
• Power Steering Belt
• Rocker Cover Gasket
• Front Brake Discs
• Front Brake Pads
• Front Brake Fitting Kit
• Rear Brake Drums
• Rear Shoes
• Rear Brake Fitting Kit
• Manual
• + Fuel Pump Overhaul Kit

I know it sounds like a overkill for a Fuel Leak

But I might as well do all the gaskets and when you do that you might as well do the following:

• Change Cam Belt - Better Safe Than Sorry
• Change the Water Pump - I'm Local to it
• Change the Radiator Hoses - Might as Well
• Replace All Gaskets on Fuel Pump - Safer Than Sorry
• Change The Other Belts - Safer Than Sorry
• Change The Coolant / Anti-Freeze - God Knows When That Was Last Done
• Blank Off The EGR Valve - In the Same Area
• Replace Rocker Cover Gasket - Its Old & Brittle - Like Me I Suppose
• Change All The Breaks - If I didn't Have Enough To Do Already

Well at least I'll busy Next Weekend doing this lot.....

Wish Us Luck
