I'm busy doing the timing belt on my 200TDi and have found something concerning. The instructions (landrover svc man) say you need to lock the injector pump shaft before you remove the old belt. First something is inserted in the front of the pulley and once that's in then you remove a little plate thingy and then tighten a bolt on the side of the pump. Firstly, why does this bolt need to be tightened? Won't the tool in the front do the job? Secondly, my real concern is that the little plate thingy is missing and the bolt was tight. Which means the last bloke to do the job never loosended the injector pump locking bolt when he finished. Am I correct? If so, what are the consequences?
Before I started this job, the engine was sweet as a nut - this is only a precautionary job.
Any ideas fellas?
