mk2 fuel/injection pump woes

[oooeee]

Hi there,hope someone can help me.I've got a 1982 mk2 used to be a luton but now a recovery truck,she's got the old 2.4 york engine but the fuel/injection pump has deceased.Has anyone got one or any idea where i might find one.I have no idea what was meant to be on there originaly but the buggered one on there now is a bosch but the filter housing is lucas cav so i'm a tad confused.Any help would be appreciated.Cheers.

Sounds like you have a bit of a bitser there mate. Are you sure it's not an early DI, and not a York? Though the Di came in with the facelift, in 1986 there could have been an engine change. How long have you had the van?

Hi, thanks for the reply. I think you may be right on the bitser front my friend and as for the engine how do i tell the difference between an early di and a york lump?? I bought the old girl about 2 months ago and drove it from norfolk to cornwall so it was working ok. Got to cornwall and the pump gave up on me and i've been banging my head against a wall ever since. I've had quoutes from Bosch to look at my buggered one and they said anywhere from 350 to 1200 quid to sort it!!!!!!!!! ARE THEY SURE!!!!! So i'm now at the point of looking at an engine change but i want to keep it as original as i can and not go with 2.5 and the 5 speed box. I know it would be more practical but its not original,so i suppose the next question is what would've been in there when it left the factory as a luton in 1982?? And what numbers should i be looking for on the block?? Thanks for your time.

post a picture of the engine, the alternator is up top on a york engine, the lucas cav pump from a Di will fit your engine if it is a york

Hi Ian,cheers for the reply. My alternator is on top so its looking like its a yorky then. I'll take some pictures now and get them on here asap. Cheers

Ya beat me to it Gemini, I was also going to say that it would most likely be a York from the factory, as that's what predated the Di in 1982.

Not that i'm rubbish with computers or anything but how the hell do i put pictures on here.???????????

[daddy cool]

Have a look in the "computer " forum at the bottom of the index page

You need to host your pictures on a website like Photobucket etc to be able to download them to here

The early 2.5 di,s also have the alt at the top,you can tell if its a york simply by checking if it has glow (heater) plugs ......... later yorkies have a plug in every pot and.......... early ones which can be a monster to start had one big un...there is a mk 2 yorkie pump on ebay best wishes Billy

Hi Billy,thanks for the reply. I've just been for a look and cant find anything that looks like a glow plug.1 or 4 of the buggers. A ny clues as where they would be if there is any??????????

If you email the picture to mrmpuk@gmail.com I'll put it up for you! Maybe thats the easy way!

[oooeee]

Cheers you're a star,i'll get on it now thankyou.

Looks like a Di to me, but I could be wrong.

[oooeee]

Cheers my friend, i wish my tranny was as efficient as you.So can anyone tell from the pictures what pump i need???

[FredTransit]

Yup it's a Di, with a Bosch pump. You need either another bosch pump with the same code on the side, or another bosch pump with whatever code and the injectors to match. That's a middle aged engine, not even an earlier one, which has the Lucas pump.
