Overhead pic would be good.

So post#47 and we are getting another tantalizing step closer to the identity of the pump and maybe even the seal that is leaking.


Although now the OP has the added joy of trying to convince his insurance company of what is actually sat outside......

Oh jeez the DVLA
Changing the pump be it efi or mechanical will seem like a stroll in the park.

Didn't the Vogon have a part in setting up the DVLA

Supplied mine, very helpful fella.

thx for getting me to the right kit tho

Follow the advise further back in this thread (Shokenore was it?), put a socket and bar on it and rest against the chassis and flick the starter...and think about which way it's going to move before doing it please.

...post 27

Crank nut = socket bar jammed against chassis and briefly key the starter to break the stiction
Or a blooming long breaker bar

[rickus]

Thx, not sure how to work out which way it moves. I'll ask someone, best to go from the top or bottom to get at it? I think the mechanic went from the top but I'd rather get you experienced guys advice on that.

[andyverran]

Engine runs clockwise when viewed from the front...

[shokenore]

Soo the mystery pump is actually no mystery at all.

I should image as in most of these similar cases the ever so not helpful local Toyo dealer has seen the VIN plate refers to a grey import and has wiped his hands of the issue

Shame really

But their loss as Andy has pointed out the seal kit you can search more but that is a pretty good price.


BUT I would still make sure the leak if indeed there is a leak can't be done with the pump in situ.

Top cover gaskets and o rings can be done with the pump in place even the spill control valve o ring can be done.

Good luck tho

The chap on the link I posted does provide instructions on exactly that...not knowing what your leak is, but if it was me I'd take the lazy way out and do the easy ones with the pump in and see if that sorts it out.

[shokenore]

Not lazy but I'd do the same why work harder when you can work smarter.

[rickus]

well the mechanic changed the ones that came in the kit from roughtrax so I sort of figure that will be the easy ones. He also said that it looks like where it is leaking is not accessible without removing the pump. so im going to take it off, maybe get anything else that can be done to it done. Have to work out which way the nut goes when I get there cos I cant think about it till I get to look at the crank nut. I thought that it was facing the rear of the engine so would need to look at it to work it out, but thanks for ALL the help you guys have given
