D Spares & Tyres Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 With a heavy heart I probably ought to move my Shogun on. Been a faithful old beast for a few years but the injection pump has failed internally. It still runs but lots of diesel is finding its way into the engine oil now. Was going to fix it eventually but too many projects, not enough time. Just can't be bothered. Going to buy an X Trail or something Needs no welding. Body very good Tidy leather interior 2.8 turbo diesel with 5 speed manual box Lovely car that had service history til I got it at 130,000. Its now on 150,0000. Mot. Til august Has four good tyres, bigger than standard. They are 3.1 x 10.5 r 15 £500 to a shiter Side steps and mudflaps were removed to do the welding on the sills but I left them off as I prefer the look Conrad D.

Wingz123 Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 Very common on these unfortunately - have had a couple of the later ones like yours. I sold that and it went for export... paid me £2k that was about 3 years ago D Spares & Tyres 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tetleysmooth Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 For anyone interested in this, there's a chap who lives near me who specialises in replacing pump seals in these.He goes all over the country fixing them. I have his number, so if anyone wants to take a punt, drop me a pm and I'll pass his number on.I have no idea how much he charges. I'd run this by MrsTet, but being a manual makes it a no go.

Scruffy Bodger Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 Worth asking about the pump up at Dieselec? Everyone who ever has work done there seems to rate the place and was talking to someone just last week and it seems their prices are very reasonable if not cheap compared to other places.

andy18s Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 I've had an 9hr day just to swap the front seal on the 2.8 injector pumpSo much stuff to move just to get to it...That said if you can get it fixed then it would be ideal for a run out here to BG,and sell easy enough to make for an "interesting" road trip Scruffy Bodger and D Spares & Tyres 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D Spares & Tyres Posted August 23, 2018 Author Share Posted August 23, 2018 Just taken a deposit on this. Feel slightly sad about it but there is no point it just sitting about deteriorating while I drive its replacement that is far more economical. Happily though, it's off to Ukraine. They should get many more years out of it over there. More of a fix it culture than our wasteful throw it away one catsinthewelder and Lord Sterling 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben_O Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 Do people still export them then?My boss has one sitting in the compound at work that he wants rid of. Runs and drives but has an oil leak and is a bit tatty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D Spares & Tyres Posted August 23, 2018 Author Share Posted August 23, 2018 I thought the export on these had long since dried up but I suppose some people are sick of the later ones and their faults and just want a simple old one instead. Prices over there are daft. Still cheaper to buy on them convert to L HD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
