Am I hallucinating or has my Landy finally driven me mad ? I wanted to check my injection pump timing but when I looked in the wading plug hole to bring the slot round to lock the flywheel there was no ring gear ! Only a smooth surface .. what the heck is going on ?
Is this the Mother of all Cock Ups ?

Yes that's right. There is two slots, make sure you get the right one, also the hole for the timing pin needs to be about 11 o'clock in the injection pump.
Don't ask me how I lfound out
That's on a 200tdi but guess 300tdi is similar.

I know about the two slots , what I can't figure out is where my ring gear has gone ! Looking in the hole it's just a smooth surface , no teeth .Yes that's right.

If it had teeth how would you see a slot?I know about the two slots , what I can't figure out is where my ring gear has gone ! Looking in the hole it's just a smooth surface , no teeth .
It’s the wading plug ole that’s why, you said it yourself.I know about the two slots , what I can't figure out is where my ring gear has gone ! Looking in the hole it's just a smooth surface , no teeth .

Fair point . It is quite possible my Landy has driven me mad ! I'll get someone to turn the engine by hand while I lie underneath and watch for the slot to come round . It's a long time since I last did this so memory could be a bit hazy ..

Before you turn the engine, have you loosened the fuel pump bolts - if so -STOP and check the order in which you should proceed
