  I fear my Injector Pump is about to expire. Not only is it noisy it is emitting a knock. The engine has done 185k miles and is as sweet as a nut and the body is good so I think its worth replacing. Does anyone know the make and model of pump? (the car is 1996) and anyone who refurbishes these pumps or supplies remanufactured ones.
Thank you in advance

Got one done locally a few years back ... expect to fork-out around 1200 notes!

She goes into my local landrover specialist tomorrow just to confirm the diagnosis. Ive had a quote of a grand from a bosch specialist to remove, renovate and refit.  Might seem mad to spend that on a 1996 car  but I got her up on the hoist at the weekend to inspect her bottom and I was surprised by the lack of any major corrosion. A weekend with the rust killer and then a coat of hammerite and she will have years left in her so I guess its worth the investment.
BTW the single post hoist that I bought earlier this year has changed my life. My brother and I can finally walk under our cars and inspect them without having to crawl around on our backs. Brakes can be done standing up and oil changes are a doddle. I can really recommend them.

I'd need a garage to put it in first.

Just to update you all. It was in fact the pump. Very helpful Bosch specialist whipped it off fixed it up and recalibrated and replaced it. I had new glow plugs put in at the same time. My wallet is £700 lighter. I'm collecting her at the weekend so ill give you an update on how she is after the 'heart transplant'

After what I've read on here, £700 seems very reasonable.

The TD pump is much more reliable than the 2.2DTi pump, which suffers both mechanical and electronics durability problems.
