Here are some useful links and guides that I've collected whilst fiddling with, and learning about, Bosch VE injection pumps.
First some help with numbers and identifying what they mean and links for pump/vehicle ID so you can find your Transit and its VE injection pump.
What the Bosch VE injection pump serial number means, for example 0 460 414 153
0= Denotes complete product
460= Product class, Distributor pump
4= Identifier for VE Injection pump
1= Plunger Diameter: 8=8mm,9=9mm,0=10mm,1=11mm,2=12mm,3=13mm & 4=14mm
4= Number of Cylinders
153= Application
******************************************************************************************************************
What the vehicle model numbers mean in the following link (http://www.vepump.cn/CZB.htm)
using the 0 460 414 153 pump as an example again, it lists VE4/11F2000R624-7
VE = VE type pump (VP is also a VE pump)
4 = number of cylinders
11 = 11mm plunger
F = mechanical governor (E = electronic governor)
2000 number = governor controlled RPM (this is pump rpm not engine rpm)
R = clockwise rotation (L = counter clockwise)
624-7 number = production number

For tuning info peugeot forums, land rover forums, cummins forums, in fact any vehicle that has the Bosch VE injection pump fitted and has a forum will probably have nuggets of info.
I hope this info will be as useful to others as it has to me
