Hi all,

I got a chance to have a look for the diesel leak on my 1900 Pug lump
(in a Rover 218SD) in the daylight today and it looks like I was
close re the leak area but not the actual point (not bad from just
seeing diesel on the ground eh) ;-)

It seems it's seeping from the injector pump body where the throttle
actuator arm passes through the 'lid' (for want of a better term).

Now it is only a very gentle seep but not wanted even so but I guess
this is now a different kettle of spanners to the fuel cutoff valve?
:-(

Is there a service kit for such things (mechanical injector system),
or an 'O' ring or seal that could be changed from the outside (he asks
hopefully)?

It's only got to do another 6,000 miles and it'll be up to 200,000
(and still doing ~50 mpg) ;-)

You could change the seal, but the top plate ovalised where the shaft passes
through, and will start leaking again pretty quickly.

Best option is to find a decent diesel injection/pump specialist, take the
numbers of the pump, and they should be able to supply you with the correct
parts (top cover, seals, and any other parts they think you'll need for the
job)

It's then just a case of unbolting the old one, then swapping everything
across, and making sure bits go back in the same place, and the same amount
(ie. limit screws are screwed in the same number of turns).
