Thanks yeah we thought it might be and we will have to move the pump very slightly back, will prob do it one night this week.

Just to let you all know yesterday we did some work on the Landy and moved the diesel pump position to a couple of locations and nothing happened but on the last try we turned the pump the total opposite position to where it was at the start as far as it could go round, connected all the...

Cheers we will have to try and maybe adding a battery for extra power because that is a pain that the battery does always die while we try to start it a few times and it is a new one but and extra one might do it and if not then tow it and have a look at the timing of the pump, Cheers

Yeah we did all that with the timing to get it all in the correct place and used a DTI, just not sure on this pump then with what people are saying maybe it could be in the wrong position now there is a new timing chain on.

But if I haven't touched the pump and the engine was working fine before the timing chain went, just timing the engine basically because it has been taken apart and the chain snapped so it had to be done and if the timing was right before the chain snapped then the pump shouldn't need moving...

Haha thanks for your help will have to prob give it a try

The Land Rover was runing fine before the timing chain snapped and we haven't touched the pump apart from priming ? Could it still be the timing of the pump if we haven't touched it ?

We got the timing set to the book and used a DTI gauge to set the exhaust port one as in book, could be that it needs more priming but we also have done a lot of priming and don't seem to be getting anywhere, we toke the rocker cover off and tried to run to check everything is moving okay and it...

Hi me and my dad have got a Land Rover series 3 1981 2.25 diesel, we been using her for a bit then didn't use for a week and when we went to start her she wouldn't start, after some digging around taking the rocker cover off we seen the push rods are all bent so we found out it was the timing...
