I have a leaking Vacuum pump seal, but cannot find a seal kit . Anyone here with a 3.2 i6 know where I can find one in the UK. The only ones I can find on the net are expensive once you factor the shipping costs.
Cheers.

Have you tried the site sponsors? failing that Land Rover themselves  Common sense isn't very common.

Cheers Axle. After spending an hour this morning trawling the internet, it sounds so obvious .

FYI

That part number is from Volvo

At least one Freel2 member was able to source it

So it can be done

Good luck

Paul

Thanks Paul, however I knew it was a Volvo part number and so that's what I was searching for. However nothing came up as being for sale in the UK. Lots from the States and even Russia too, but with postage it becomes very expensive for what it is.

That makes sense.

Take a look at this thread

http://www.freel2.com/forum/topic32282.html

Rpaterson was able to get the parts

If it were me I would PM him to ask where he sourced it. (He is in Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿)

Good luck

Paul

Even says it fits a FL 2, only seals though

That's my point. I cannot seem to get a set here in the UK. Postage, exchange rates , import duty etc make an already expensive (for what it is) part damn expensive. In comparison I have a Land Rover S3 Lightweight on the drive I've been restoring, that needs the brakes overhauling. I can get a full axle set of drums, shoes, cylinders and springs for £69. So I really cannot justify spending more than that on a couple of little bits of rubber gasket.
Dan, (Duckworths) is going to be my next port of call. Fingers crossed.

Yes, and we buy items from all over the World when it's priced competitively. My friend you need to get your head of your posterior when guys on here take time out to try and help. It may just be someone outside of UK that finally gets the benefit of that link and not you ! FL2 MY10 TD4 GS traded in at 2 years

ooooooooow
rich after some of the things you have written.
it may help others but the idea was to help the topic poster who isn't me so doesn't help me.
having my head up my means I don't have to see/deal with some people who seem very touchy. Common sense isn't very common.

Ian,

If you get a chance post here the solution that you found for sourcing the Vacuum pump seal kit.

Did you have to order it from the US?


For reference I just ordered some parts for my bicycle and the lowest cost was at Chain Reaction Cycles.

I didn't know were they were shipping but the tracking number from the Royal Mail was a strong clue.


Take care

Paul

I haven't ordered one yet. I can't get one from Land Rover as they say they don't do the kit. I've tried Volvo, but they haven't got back to me. As soon as I get the answer I'm looking for - I'll post the results for sure.
Ian

Just ordered a kit from RKXTech in the USA. $47.93 including shipping. Around £36.93. That's a result !

Well done, let us know how it goes.  Common sense isn't very common.
