Oldyellar,
I'm not sure I completely understand your post above but I try and answer what I do. Indeed the 300 Tdi is no better than the Tdci, you're correct but the 300, at least in its earlier forms is mechanical and requires no expensive modification to be mechanical and spare parts are cheap and plentiful. The film title states that the engine is using a 300 tdi FIP, I'm not quite sure where a Pug FIP comes into it. My point in my earlier posts is that it's not a practical conversion. It certainly is an interesting engineering project but alas the film does not show the FIP or how it's driven so we only have film posters word for it. If you want a mechanically fuel injected diesel engine for your Land Rover then fit an engine that was designed to be just that and there are tens of thousands of Land Rovers out there still reliably running Tdi engines on the road today. A tribute to its design, simplicity and reliability. ๐ Or you could fit one that's run for 10 seconds sat on a pallet with alleged claims to be a mechanical conversion but with no evidence to back it up. If they can make a practical conversion then I take my hat off to them but really, why would you ? I know which I'd choose. ๐ Mo The Land Rover 90 - Many are called, few are chosen. 50 Shades of Pennine Grey |

Mo you dont understand, this is not a conversion of the tdci but the earlier direct injection puma engine that the 2007 onwards puma tdci is based on..
It ran in the transit mk6 2001 - 2006 and ldv convoy It runs a vp30 and vp44 fuel pump that fails only due to electrical faults and not mechanical These guys are putting fully mechanically operated pumps on there vans to stop electrical gremlins. Imo its league's ahead of the 300tdi. As for for Peugeot and LR pumps they are basically the same the point I was making was you dont need to specifically use the 300 pump I got the feeling this upsets you. |

Also the exposed FIP belt you talk of is a timing chain that's incased

Ah clarity, thank you old yellow. It wasn't clear that you were using the ''puma'' for Fords engine range whereas on this forum ''puma'' is commonly referred to as the 2007 on Tdci engined Defender ๐ hence the confusion. I and I suspect others thought you were referring to mechanical conversions for Defender engines ๐
In which case I'm sure the conversion is very good for transits ๐ Mo The Land Rover 90 - Many are called, few are chosen. 50 Shades of Pennine Grey |

Itโs a Bosch โVEโ style/series pump fitted in many different applications- if you genuinely want to know more go and buy yourself โBosch Diesel Engine Managementโ the book and learn all you can wish
