Hi,
Landrover 90, 300tdi engine circa 1998.
Today(2nd), I noticed a very rapid clicking noise coming from my injector pump(300tdi engine in a 90) that seemed to increased in loudness with load on the engine. This noise, which was noticeable in the cab while driving, has not been there before.
Not being as mechanically knowledgeable as most here, I'm only guessing this is the pump beginning to fail - is this likely? Is it likely to fail suddenly or more likely to gradually drop off in performance?
Also, is it a coincidence that, since July this year, I've been running a mix of transesterified veg oil at between 40 and 60% mixed with DERV? Or was the pump on it's way out anyway? I've had the vehicle since 2000 and had no fuel related problems so far.
Is this going to cost me mega bucks? :o(
