All sorted now, put a small spacer between pump and casing on the stud nearest the battery

Hi guys I'm at the point where im at a loss now. Fitted option 1 the new case and injection pump bracket along with pulleys and my timing belt is still moving over. I have even changed the pump pulley as it looked worn, I would appreciate and help given. Thanks in advance

the coolant will go down when u take expansion cap off and the plug ontop of the engine as the expansion bottle is lower than the engine. not really sure about the rest unless you have a major air lock.

if it aint broke dont fix it

i guess your wate rpump seized and snapped your belt, all seem to be linked

yes there are ment to be a few holes in the bottom of the air box its to let any water out. when fitting a snorkel silicone them up

to be honest mate if you have a haynes manual a torque wrench angle guage its easy enough to do yourself. i done mine for 200 that includes buying a recon head and tools for the job.

it shouldnt bubble no. that wouldnt cause your problem though i dont think mate just very carefuly tighten the glow plug up a little

have you checked the pipes along the injectors? my 300 was doing the exact same thing. i could also hear the hissing sound when manually using the lift pump, look around the injectors when pumping it for small leaks and when its running that should be your problem mate

thanks mate. its taken alot of work to get it to how it stands in the photo. new bootfloor, box section sills and various other bits ok welding

hey everyone thought i'd introduce myself. im dai and from south wales, always been into my land rovers and currently have a disco 300tdi that im doing up for offroad/greenlaning. here it is

i would replace the housing if its pitted. saves doing seals again for a while
