I thought I would document the work im doing on my Disco considering I have at last got to the bottom of the problem, well at least I hope I have :crazy:
Whilst im doing that job I am taking the oppurtunity to change the cambelt and tensioners as well as the crank pulley and key.
So stage 1 is to gain reasonable access and guess what this hateful car is already throwing spanners in the works. I need to remove the viscous fan in order to gain access to the timing chest cover, and guess what, someone has rounded all 4 little 10mm headed bolts that hold it on! Que buying a new fan spanner as I can't find mine in the hope I can get it out of the way that way.
Stage 2 would be to remove the serpentine belt which in this case became stage 1 as I wanted to do stuff tonight! Which has showed up where the grumbling noise has been coming from so now going to be putting a new water pump on as well. :mad2:
Thats as far as I got tonight because its now dark and also because this car hates me.
