By that time I only thought about the cone pin when you were referring to the 'pin' You never stop learning in live - still puzzles me that I never had that issue before since 1990 ... all the 200/300 tdi Landrover engines I worked on for years..

By that time I was still thinking that you would refer to the cone pin as 'the' pin. You never stop learning in live

Problem solved ! Finally found the issue, It was just that little pin between the boost compensator cone and adjacent lever which was stuck. Since I finished my apprenticeship as a mechanic in 1990 I have never had that happen or heard about it. Worked heaps on Bosch VE pump equipped...

So we ran it direct out of a 5 litre can - no difference at all. It is like having a 2x4 under the acellerator pedal. Then yesterday night I thought - bingo - something I haven't checked before, the injection pump lever alignment with the actual shaft it's sitting on. Moved it one notch...

I dearly hope that the pump is not getting enough fuel from the supply side. That would be easy fixable. The culprit must be somewhere there - pump issues are quite rare - I haven't seen one failing since my apprenticeship as a mechanic started in '86.

I have searched but can't find a proper workshop manual for the last mechanical pump equipped TD27T Terrano 2. Or at least the relevant pages or data for the pump timing adjustment. If anybody here could point me towards it, that would be very much appreciated.

Thank you for your thoughts Rick, I had the pump in some, not all pieces to be able to replace the leaking head o-ring. The pin was not sticky and I replaced the still good diaphragm with a new one. As I don't know the history of that engine I want to get the basics right and go from there. I...

Hi Solarman, thank you for your thoughts. Over the years I worked on heaps of VE pump equipped vehicles but never had issues with the internal pressure. In my apprenticeship years which ended in '91 I was schooled on these pumps. I'll give it a shot on the weekend. I found a minifilter in the...

To #2 : I searched again and finally found the purpose of this solenoid in the return line. It is called "Solenoid Timer" and is used to advance the injection pump timing by increasing inner pump pressure during cold starts. I'll check the function but I believe that this one is not responsible...
