Didn't have time to take a look tonight, was trying to fix my Disco but managed to F!!CK that too ☹️. Took some quick pics of Tappets will post them on later. Tried a couple with gauge though and they seemed really Tight
 
Done the Tappets tonight and I Think it sounds better, the loud knock on my second and third Vid seems to have quietened , or gone, what do yous think ?
Gonna check other things mentioned over the next few days.

Being a diesel the battery voltage should not make it stop unlike a petrol needing a spark,, if it cuts out my guess would be air getting in the fuel lines to filter or injection pump

while it’s running if you check with voltmeter on battery is a good check, is charge light going out or not yet wired up

Not yet wired up, but Battery did go flat as checked with Volt meter and had to jump start it when I put it back on Disco.

Thanks, Making me fell a bit better now, but still think it has some other noises going on, gonna check everything over the next few days. Another thing I noticed is there is a small bit of play on the adjuster nut for fan belt , is this normal ?

till its fully boxed up,acoustic cover on and bonnet shut they do sound a little clanking ticking over ,especially if not been run for awhile
the belt tensioner nut should be tight,and with a spanner on the pulley nut the pulley should pull away from belt tight but smooth
 
I have the large Browns to number 1 and the thin Brown and Yellow to number 2 , is that right ? I suspect the thin one could maybe have broke, as it had a few cracks in and I just taped it up,
