ACE pump burn up
I purchased a 2000 Disco 2 from a guy who said he worked as a Landrover mechanic for 20 years. He said there was a leak in the ACE system due to a a faulty line near the rear axle. He said he couldn’t find the part but it “would be no problem” to drive. Unfortunately a few later, I hear a rather unfortunate growl from the engine on my way home. Battery light on, overheating and no power steering. Sure enough it cooked the ACE pump. My question is I figured I would need new pump, pulley, serpentine belt, hose to fix leak. Anything else you can suggest would be great. Thanks!

I have a nearly-new ACE pump on my parts truck that I would let go for a good price. Might even be able to harvest a replacement for the leaky line if I knew which bit I was looking for.
Battery light on, no power steering, and overheating would seem to indicate that the serpentine belt snapped, which could be caused by the ACE pump seizing. Until you're able to fix the ACE system, you could get the shorter non-ACE belt and run the truck without that system active.

Thank you
Thank you for the replies! When the ACE pump overheated it melted the cast iron housing and diverted the pulley towards the compressor pulley. They are not touching so I think I could get a non ACE SERP belt installed until I get a new pump. Since a new ACE pump is around a grand I would be interested in your used ACE pump.

Yes, I would like the ACE pump. Private message me at drcarlsonholisticvet@gmail.com so we can work out the details. It appears the hard lie to the rear actuator is rusted. The former owner gerry rigged with rubber hose up to about 2 feet left of the hard line and this line then connects to the actuator. Thank You!

Thank you!
Yes, I will take ACE pump. The hard line was spliced about 2 feet from actuator with rubber hose. The two feet left is very rusty and I am sure where leak is as has a lot of ACE oil everywhere under there. Please let me know how much you want and how we can complete transaction.
