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
 
just turn until tappet is loose and replace. then turn again and set tappets to required gap.

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 :)
