(1/3) > >>

Hi all, is it possible that the timing belt on my defender has jumped some teeth when i was marooned in some deep muddy water recently.

Cheers Rob.

I would very much doubt it............but after saying that..........my 300 has jump out and rubbed the front casing causing the belt to snap  :cry: .......3 bent push rods and a new belt later.......all ok.
Could be worth just checking the timimg marks.

Right thanks ,am i right in saying to check timing marks i need to take belt cover of or is there a way around this .

Your right.........belt cover off.........you can check crank and fuel pump with the cover on but not the cam.

What is the problem with it ?

A long story really but basically got stuck in some deep muddy water after being pulled out had a few things wrong with car ,turbo ,to much oil on deep stick,noisey engine (top end),oil light flickering on at low revs.
Replaced turbo ,changed oil ,removed sump and cleaned .Started car and lots of smoke low oil pressure and noise still present didnt rev car much due to noise oil pressure so not sure if turbo working should do it is new.
