Got my 200tdi running and driving today, I'm loving it. Only thing is, it sounds a bit knocky and i was wondering whether this was normal for these engines? Hopefully you can hear it on the video

I don't know, is there a bit of adjustment on the pump timing i can play about with?

Well i set up the timing 2 days ago, it's possible i got it wrong i suppose?
ProcrastinatorFraser

Yeah, I can't seem to get it to tick over all that slowly or it stalls

Although the knocking is not present on it's current tick over setting, just when I rev it up a bit

That's definetly not normal! Need to turn the idle wayyyy down aswel! If it's stalling when you turn the idle down that you've got further problems, might also be related to the knocking?
What have you done just fitted the engine or rebuilt or any further info might help source the problem?

I'd whip the front cover off and check the timing (especially the camshaft), if the cam is a tooth out that wont help you trying to get a smooth lower tick over. I assume this is also the same FIP that you've just had the revving its nuts off issues with, could also be further issues inside it?

The timing belt has been done, but i know the cam and crank are properly timed.... i tried re-timing the fuel injection pump today and it helped a bit...
The top end has been rebuilt in the passed week because of a blown head gasket.

That's what i'm guessing, also having some issues with smoke at the mo

The engine speed you heard in the video is not actually idle, i was just revving it up to get the knocking noise in as much as possible

Valve clearances i believe are spot on, they were set up a few days ago, also this engine actually starts fabulously, even without glows on cold start, it starts almost instantly.

So, your suggesting i got the FIP pulley a tooth out? All is possible
No it may not be that far out, maybe a half a tooth and not actually out just out of adjustment, but if you havent got the bolts in the middle of the slots when you tensioned the belt you cant adjust the timing enough on the slots to get the timing spot on.
I did the exact same thing on my 200 into s2 conversion, bloody white smoke meant retarded timing and as I had no adjustment left it meant strip down again to get it right, not the end of the world but a lot more time consuming on a series than a defender.
You only have to remove the little round plate to get access to timing hole on the inj pump.
