Do you have the repair operations manual?

Doesn't look right to me.

Report back please. Remember the cam rotates at half the speed of the crank, so piston 1 is at top dead centre twice for each rotation of the cam and skew gear.

Rotate by hand the engine one full revolution only and check again.

For any photos of the pulley? Didn't realise they were the same pulley.

Wasn't quite happy with putting it back together knowing the cam was stiffer than it should be. Took a razor blade to the shiney spots on the cam bearing and gently reamed it down, took a few attempts but now turns freely with only a small...

Yes, they can.

Convert the "pull to stop" to a series 3 choke cable, use that to activate the glow plug relay.

Valves or rings? Pour oil down the bores and re do the compression test

Most recent discussion on that forum. Good afternoon folks Towards the end of last year a club member tried to change the engine details on their S2, They got a letter saying that "To update our record with the change of vehicle details, you...

Engine swaps are common, the engine blocks are physically compatible, so it's possible that it has a new engine somewhere along the way. Or the factory got it wrong..... So long as the log book and the vehicle match, all is good.

It's so marginal. What's your usage? Local or long distance?

Yep, you can get an MOT on an unregistered vehicle. I've two to do so got the guy to double check.

Ignition switch. Or relay.

Options. Poor electrics, as in the cables aren't up to it. Heat soak from the exhaust. Or the wrong starter for the ring gear.

Budget for a new master cylinder.

Well sorted the vibration. Went with a discovery double cardon shaft. Cut the DC off it and welded it to the original prop. Then pivoted the rear axle back to lift the pinion to point up to it. Result, no vibration.

Demand , had it on for 5yrs now still looks the same, good customer service lots of choice and advice

Thank you, went on there website and look really good. Will give them a call later

Please report back, these look interesting.

I think, fairly certain, the 2.5 has a different ring gear. So that's out.

For anyone reading this VL Churchill tools are remaking special service tools.

Nice one, I'd never have a 2286 diesel again, but perhaps if mine had been timed right I mightn't feel that way....

There's a lot of debate about timing a Series 3 2.25 Diesel engine – whether special tools are essential or if experience can suffice. While I've successfully timed Land Rover fuel pumps manually, I prefer to have the right tools for the job...

Pictures?

Nice Santana!

It's not a bad option, I drove mine for a few years. I started towing a lot heavier stuff so put the turbo back on. The turbo makes towing at sixty easier.

This is true. A di200 isn't a bad engine, but not nearly as good as a TDI.

Fit 11" drums and a servo.

Series three standard issue.
