Hi all, I brought a nice little project from Wales , I got a nice tappet noise and I drove for 4hrs and its still there!
I replaced the oil and filter and yes it's still there.

I brought a set of tappets today, un bolted rocket cover, but when I went to set it to tdc I can't see any timing marks?
Is there a guide any were of how to replace tappets?

….................,.,.....................
So all excited I inspected it properly, I found a few other issues

- There's diesel leaking out the rear of the pump

- The high range don't engage when button is pressed no light either.

- front driver window motor slipping

- also got these dash faults;
Front driver window not set
Front passenger window not set
Alarm fault
Srs air bag fault
Neutral transfer

The driver side has no heating but passenger side does, got a pic of a book on heater display.

We're to start? Lol

Look forward to any info and help

What car is it
 
I assumed TD engined defender cos that's where he posted. :rolleyes: but looking at that I'm thinking diesel engined Rangey???? in which case he's in the wroing section :doh:

well it must be the most upto date td built, if its later rangey then wont they be hydrolic tappets
 
He's posted the question in the 2.5td 19j engine section - so that might be the engine hes got??

If so: Slacken ALL of the tappet adjuster screw lock nuts and slacken off ALL of the adjuster screws until they are clear of the pushrods, Then progressively unscrew the 5 smaller rocker pedestal securing bolts Then unscrew the 5 cylinder head bolts which secure the rocker pedestals to the cylinder head then you can lift the rocker assembly clear of the engine.

Sorted :)
