Hi Dennis,
I have ordered some parts from Denmark, https://www.lrparts.dk/shop/land-rover-defender it looks more expensive, but with postage from the UK not that bad. No idea what the company is like, but I am desperate for an injector loom so gave them a go.

Hi Anders,
I took the air intake off and checked the sensor, its not lose. When I check the ideal speed error while the engine is running it is jumping between -3 and +532 RPM, but I am not sure this is just the normal pulse from the sensor as it generates and AC single for the ECU apparently.
I have ordered a new sensor as I have no choice but to just keep chaning stuff out until the problem is fixed…

Hi Per,
I have one on order from Padock, but its stuck in the post. It absolutly needs changing as I am getting oil in the ECU plug. I also plan to change out the engine loom as I hate electrical reliability problems.
I have had a bad oil leak at the back near side of the Engine for weeks now, I am having a feeling after taking the air inlet hose off that the oil is messing with the electrics. I had a feeling it was the cam cover leaking, but its clean. This are not the best conditions to be working outside for sure…

Yes I am starting to lean to the idea of the fuel pump, when it does start it makes the same noise as when you have changed the fuel fileter and is strugling for fuel. I will change the filer and the fuel return valve first as I have them, but it does look like the pump. Not looking forward to cutting a hole in the floor, but looks easier than dropping the tank….
Thanks for the advice.
Hi Andrew,
Its reasuring to know I am not alone, thank you. I purchased the Landy in October, (200,000k) and have done a full 100k service, inluding filters. Around 205,000km I started getting a really loud noise from the fuel pump, after I degreased the engine. I changed the fuel filer again, with no effect. The nose seemed to be from air being sucked in around the fuel regulator, I guessed due to drying the gasket when I degreased. Some WD 40 and the noise stopped immediatly and never came back. I am using MANN filters.
I just took the cover off the ECU, dry as a bone, no oil. I really hate reliability faults like this, so I plan to order a new Engine loom. I was also just trawling the internet and wonder if it could be the high pressure side of the fuel pump, as the motor runs roughly but only at low RPM, it will not accelerate as before. I do have a new fuel air bleed valve, I can fit and will change fuel filter again at same time, nothing to lose. The only thing I do know for sure is I have oil coming out the red connector for the ECU.

Hi Fredrik,
Have you checked the ECU connector under the seat, red plug. I checked mine last week and it was full of engine oil. See attached.
I understaand from my research that this can cause alsorts of stange engine issues…All the Best Michael
Yes I have parts on order stuck in the system, they sent me an email saying that due to the COVID closure of the ports delays will be experienced. Also other companies are warning of delays to Brexit.
My advice is to order your parts now, as they will still be liable to EU rules if ordered before 31 Dec, after that it will involve customs charges. I checked this on the EU site.
Hope this helps.
[quote quote=76764]My bet is on the fuel pressure regulator…[/quote] This is the oil after two trips. Its has the viscosity of oil.
I was getting air into the fuel system a few weeks back, may be I should check to torque on the regulator. But to be honest it does not smell of fuel and looks very much like engine oil which I am losing an a regular basis. Merry Christmas
Thanks Per,
I dont think it is diesel, I am losing engine oil, appox 1lt every 2k. I will change out the came cover gasket, just waiting for the injector loom. Its also leaking oil into the ECU, which I have to admit upsets my Mrs less than the oil on the drive… May be one alternative is to hang a drip tray from the bottom on the chassis : )
Thanks for the advice, appreciated. Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas Lars, I am looking forward to my first meeting. Would be nice to meet you guys.
