Help I think I have killed my disco!!!

<< < (2/2)

Range Rover Blues:
I had a horrible feeling I was going to hear that.  All to easily done when the belt has gone but I don't think it was 180 deg out, unless you mean at the crank.

Make no assumptions, check everything twice.

It's not just a coincidence that the TDi can survive a snapped belt, it'sone of the things ebgine designers take into account, given the market for Defender and Disco it would have been designed with a sacrificial component ie the rocker.

BigGreen:
I'm just glad its only gonna cost bout £30 (If I'm lucky)  Just have to put it down to being a NUMPTY!! Everytime I think its gonna get to the MOT something happens, I think its down to that green oval badge on the back!!
Just getting desperate to get off road, can't do too much with the V8 till I get the torpedo tanks moved from the sills (last owner)

thanks for the advice again, no doubt I will be posting some other obvious questions before i have finished!

Why move them?? They're bullet proof.  Mine only hang about 2 inches lower than the chassis and only 1 inch below the radius arm mounting.

I took mine down a load of greenlanes with the tanks underneath and ok they took a beating, but it only took the paint off them.  Oh yeah just make sure the straps are in good nick...  This is the weak point, I managed to rip 3 of my 4 straps off, but they now have 6 straps on them.

I did think about moving mine but I need the boot space.  So the only other place is in place of the petrol tank, but that's a bit pricey at the moment for me!

bilge rat:
remember when yourve built it up double check the timing and turn it over by hand first, good luck ,alan.......

Range Rover Blues:
Yeah, and if you crank it over with the injectors out you should hear a hissing as each piston goes up on compression.  Only when you are 100% convinced it's right should you;

Check it one last time
Add fuel

best of luck
