Any advice welcome. For some time my 300tdi disco has kept on running when I turn it off. This was intermittent at first. Took it to main dealer who "cleaned the fuel cut off switch" but advised a new one ... for lots of ££.
Now really needs to be sorted.
Any ideas
simple DIY? good supplier of new recon part ?
Thanks
John.

the fuel shut-off is normally a solenoid on the injector pump. Try a diesel engine/pump specialist. It's a Bosch pump, which are pretty commonplace.

*however*..... the switch is usually prevented from working by swarf from the "cam followers" inside the pump breaking up. This means getting your pump reconditioned (our local repairer now fits some softer followers, as the originals were too hard, hence the problem). You will most likely find that you cut-off switch is absolutely fine.Overhauling the pump is not a DIY job, as the correct calibration equipment is required.
