Okay depress me - fuel solenoid or pump

To recondition your existing pump will probably set you back around £100 or perhaps a little more.

Had the injector pump on my 2.5 n/a done at the local diesel specialist place a couple of years ago.

You probably dont want to even consider how much buying a second reconditioned pump will cost you! (I think it was £300-£400 when i last checked)

That must have been a long time ago! I've just had a VE rebuilt, cost £600.

Its almost certainly a fuel pump fault, the cam ring will be breaking up. This happens quite often nowadays with all the low sulphur fuel. Depending on how long it has been like that, you may also have damaged the pumping element beyond repair, that is the expensive bit of the pump, the part alone is about £200-£300.

I've just had a VE rebuilt for about half that (not for a LR) - including a new advance plate. The quotes before I got the job done ranged from 300 to 700 pounds so it's probably worthwhile phoning around to see if you can find someone reasoably priced.

As has been pointed out in another reply, those silvery shards are the first sign that the injector pump is on the way out. You need to get it sorted out sooner rather than later. Your local diesel specialist will do the job, price varies enourmously, but it will be a lot cheaper now rather than when the cam ring breaks up. Most specialists will replace the rollers with new softer metal versions that seen to cure the problem (the originals were too hard and rather than wearing started chipping - hence the shards).

Hi all,

Just had it to the Land Rover service place and yup the cam is breaking up. Going to costs me £280 in total for replacement and fitting with 6 month warranty. Thank you for all your advice.

Sounds good
