I put this in my 200di https://www.shell.com/motorist/oils-lubricants/helix-for-cars/helix-semi-synthetic/shell-helix-hx7-15w-40.html When I stripped engine it was spotless and unworn inside with no build up of sludge anywhere and noil galleries clear , I wanted to keep it that way and dont...

Yes there is a bolt on the adjusting lever to loosen , may need to slacken off the mounting bolts too if they’re tight Also check the small bolts holding fan on are tight http://smithies.co.nz/land_rover/ The series 3 workshop manual has a section on the routing maintenance very useful Lovely...

Looks a lovely place, hope you git plenty room for landy stuff😀

My passenger side tank was leaking at bottom, separating it from the cradle was a bit awkward releasing the solder joints , but once cleaned up I could see all the pinholes, i used some fuel tank epoxy from Halfords to seal the holes initially on the outside before fibre glass matting it. Worked...

That’s so good, I think my tank retaining bolts had some thick rubber washers on to damp out the shocks. Thinks your son might be starting his degree when this gets finished! 😊

Is the pick up pipe in the tank free from splits, the mesh on end of pipe is good condition , tank free of crap and enough petrol in tank. What incline of hill stops it , what do plugs look like Does it still spark after it’s cut out

Is there also HD screwed connections , even though numbers different must operate same way I’m sure @mystery will know this one

can you do a pic from underneath showing the terminal numbers , that should help

This thread has a happy ending and similar https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/12j-exhaust-peak-timing.387655/ It’s off the defender thread and also worth a search on that forum, and more people might have had similar experiences

Post 24 has the manual with those important steps on

its disheartening but youll get there

and when dots lined up did it match the max EP measured with DTI see fault table above

yes you have to put in on u tube and do a link for videos, more of a fine spray than a squirt reqd

Did the cam/crank dots line up with arrows and match the EP measured with dti , as you mentioned it was a bit off earlier in post 83 but you might have just went with that have you followed the manual timing instructions for the early or later engine is solenoid getting voltage and working ok

That looks the correct cam https://www.turnerengineering.co.uk/products/etc-7128lr-camshaft-etc-4104-spacer-bx110071m-bolt?_pos=1&_fid=7e597510e&_ss=c

360 degrees /6 =60 degrees , probably not a good idea

Your first two paragraphs in last post contradict each other ? 1. When dots on crank and cam line up valves foul pistons 2. Crank and can dots nearly line up and no problem So yes use the dots or valve max opening EP and crank dot adjust belt with pump as well and that should be it so give it...

North end at Ingleby Greenhow

when you put the crank wheel dot set to arrow does the dot on cam wheel match up with arrow 2 turns crank = 1 turn on cam You have estimated the EP using pushrods but you should check with your dti on the rocker to see if the dots line up , then onto pump

So at this point slot not lined up with round hole ok so i think you need to disregard the slot as i did , with crank gear dot aligned with pointer then that is at 109 degrees before top dead centre (EP) and you would expect all pistons to be about half way down. you should mark the flywheel...
