Thank You very much John. You have gone out of your way too help me and I appreciate your efforts very much. I once had this pump professionally rebuilt at a cost of $1165.00 for the same problem. There are two small bolts in the topside of the cam-case one of mine is missing which is where the water came from. the re-builder missed it and I wrongly assumed it too be a blind hole. Thanks to You I can repair it myself this time with major savings.

Hello Eivind,
This appears to be running with retarded injection timing, look at the label on the side of the injection pump. This will have an arrow displaying direction of rotation.
Release the three mounting securing nuts and rotate the pump against the direction of the arrow, move about 10mm and see if this helps.

Regards
John

What a fantastic website! Very helpful useful advice for people running diesel cars on a budget! My C250 should be ok thanks to the injector seal repair kit available through John on this site. Good old fashioned service and very pleasant to deal with! Highly recomended. Carl in Leyland lancashire

Parts ordered 11.30 pm Saturday arrived by post on Monday. Now that is what I call good service!

Just thought I would relay my thanks for your assistance. Thanks to your nozzle replacement information sheets, I found it was a doddle to do. I kept all the parts clean as you instructed and now my old peugeot pickup sounds like new!
Should be good for another 10 years. Lol
Cheers Si

Hi John.
Many thanks for your prompt and courteous attention. Parts arrived promptly in Australia and repairs carried out successfully. Hopefully will keep the old MF35 in action for another 50 years.
Again thank you and am quite happy to recommend you and your service.

Hi John!

The screw arrived promptly, and today I fitted it and started airing the fuel system. I'm not at all experienced in engine maintenance, and I haven't exactly been doing this under ideal conditions. Outdoors, with little flakes of red paint constantly peeling off the injection pump, but I've done my best to keep the dirt out and to be very meticulous about every step in the process. (Losing the bleed screw..well, that was a real low..) As I had guessed, it was the o-ring on the distributor head that was causing the leak, the sealing of which was the whole point of this exercise. It also meant that, as long as I put everything back the way it came apart, without turning anything, the timing would probably be right afterwards. And, lo and behold, it was! The engine started beautifully and responds exactly as it should to the accelerator and stops when pulling the stop knob - things I had been worrying a bit about. There's no telling how elated I feel now, and how grateful I am to your most kind and excellent service!

Thanks a million times!
