way2deep:
does a cam belt failure on a 200 tdi disco result in valve damage or are they non damage engines..thanks..robbie

nellyscossy:
just push rods  peice of cake to do

R Bates:
I had a cambelt break a couple of weeks ago on a 200tdi, the result was 8 bent pushrods and 1 broken rocker! They dont normally bend valves as the valve stems are harder than the pushrods and the valve heads are parallel to the pistons so they hit square on the pistons.

If you have any broken rockers make sure you recover all the broken pieces as a bit of mine fell down the pushrod hole, tried magnets and every thing i could think of to get it out ended up taking the head off it was a propper pain!

bobtailed disco:
i done the cambelt in mine not so long ago. i have never replaced 1 b4 let alone replaced a broken 1 and it was a piece of cake. dont listen to the garages when they say the eng is shot. i done the head gasket (didn't really need doing but wanted to look at the valves) cam belt and water pump and all the bits came to less than £100
