Hello lads
Not sure how but for sure I have at least 3 bent rods
Was driving behind my mate seen a cloud of white smoke follows by black smoke
 
Ok update
Got new push rods
Pulled the timing belt cover and guess what belt f***** only 250 miles on the belt
Looks like it ride forward and shredded
Waiting on the recovery truck long way back to the Emerald Isle

Possibly incorrectly fitted tensioner
 
Yes it turns out my mate fitted the new belt knowing the bearing in the fuel injection pump was wobbling and the belt wandered alright
Aye well lessons lesson learn't

TBH we meet some really helpful people today all of them Landrover men and also the wee mechanic from the RAC absolutely a gem of a man
Is everything sorted?
