My daughter has a BMW Mini One 1.4 and that means that I have to look after it for her, unfortunately she did not follow in my mechanical footsteps. This time I reattach the Mini's poorly wheel arch trim, which was knocked off when a helpful driver pulled out without looking, luckily nothing else was damaged. The Mini lives! As this is an older car I've had to deal with a variety of repairs, th...

Land Rover Discovery 3 (LR3) Rear Anti Roll Bar Bush Replacement Easy(ish)
Просмотров 6621 день назад
The rear anti roll bar bushes on a Land Rover Discovery 3 are an easy repair, or so I thought. Corrosion has made the bolts very stiff and hard to remove, patience is a virtue, and I have to find inner peace to persist in their removal.

This is the first in a 3 part series where I try to finish off the suspension work on the rear of my 2007 Land Rover Discovery 3 (LR3). The drop link is nice and simple, but things get more complicated when I move on to the anti roll bar bushes. Ownership of an older Land Rover is always fun, especially when there's corrosion to deal with, 17 year old rusted bolts are going to be a challenge. I...

    Thank you for the video. What is the rated pump pressure of the old and the new pump installed?

    • @alexgreendialysismechanic
      @alexgreendialysismechanic 14 дней назад

      A good pump should give a reading of around 7psi (0.5 Bar) depending on the condition of the fuel filter and ambient temperature, so a low pressure could also be caused by a blocked or old fuel filter. Also check the fuse and relay. The old pump I replaced was giving under 3psi on idle and dropping to 1.5psi when revving the engine. Always read the diagnostic codes to rule out the high pressure fuel pump as well, the reason I changed the low pressure fuel pump was to cure a persistent issue with the vehicle going into low power mode.

      @@alexgreendialysismechanic thank you for the response. I am asking for the pressure indicated on the pump markings.

    • @alexgreendialysismechanic
      @alexgreendialysismechanic 13 дней назад

      There were no markings on the pump to indicate the pressure. According to the manufacturer the replacement pump has the following specifications: Flow rate 100 l/h Input Voltage 12 V Operating Pressure 3 bar

    That was helpful, thanks... I'm facing the same job and not entirely looking forward to it! Do you have a part number for the fuel pump, or was it just a parts store item? Cheers, Steve

    • @alexgreendialysismechanic
      @alexgreendialysismechanic 22 дня назад

      I got the pump on eBay and decided to go for a branded item. I ended up purchasing a Magneti Marelli one. It was pretty much identical to the one I removed. Also, I could reuse the Land Rover filter, which seemed higher quality than the replacement. It is still running a year later, plus after bleeding the fuel system, the car started the first time. I hope this helps. www.ebay.co.uk/itm/304498244096?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=7ZX3y-lfRfm&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=nO2hPlN5QZu&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=WHATS_APP

      ​@@alexgreendialysismechanic That is awesome, thanks Alex... the link you sent doesn't ship to New Zealand... but I'm tracking down a few leads now I have the pump part number to go on. Much appreciated. I may do a video on mine when I get it - I'll have to see, I'm going to be a little time-pressured on this one as I've got a trip coming up and need it fixed before I go (assuming I can get one delivered in time). Thanks again :) Steve

    Having issues at the moment with horrible Missfire on coldstart until car has some temperature in it, possibly same problem? Sweet as a nut when coolant is 60/70c

    • @alexgreendialysismechanic
      @alexgreendialysismechanic 9 месяцев назад

      Hi, my temperature sensor was reporting odd temperatures like -19C. On a very hot day it seemed to trigger limp mode. Cooler weather not so bad! In addition I also had a low pressure fuel warning, which seems to have been rectified by replacing the fuel pump. The engine has since been behaving, no more codes on diagnostic tool. So I'm not sure about your problem, there are lots of things you can check. Fuel filters, vacuum leaks, injectors etc... I find I have to consider a whole bunch of stuff each time an issue arises, work backwards to eliminate possibilities and then give my conclusions a try. Unfortunately Discovery is a complicated beast!
