Hi chaps, need some help please.

2.5 n/a 110.

Changed the timing belt and tensioner on my mates 110 for him, I used this guide;https://forums.lr4x4.com/topic/7880-25-na-timing-belt-replacement/

I lined the timing marks up and after I fitted the belt wound the engine over on the crank with a socket 6 times and re checked the timing marks-all good.
I put it all back together, and no start, it turns over fine.
I have fuel to the pump and injectors.
I know its not good, but I tried a bit of easy start, it fired, knocked loudly and conked out.
I'm thinking that I have either fitted the new belt a tooth out, or it's jumped a tooth?
The one thing I have not checked is the stop solienoid, will do that tommorow. I assume with ignition on the solenoid should be live?

Any ideas please.
 
It may be the injection pump timing is a tooth out. If you have fuel at the injectors then the fuel stop solenoid must be working. If it was working fine before you changed the belt, chances are the reason it's not starting is because of something you've done (or not done) rather than a completely different fault.
 
With a new timing belt you may also need to time the injection pump, I guess in this cold weather it could be too far out to work. At least finding the V notch would confirm you’ve done the belt right. Pics from the LR workshop manual attached.

After watching that video, I reckon i'm a tooth out.
Had a read on the net, and it seems that being 1 tooth out can make all the difference.
Will strip it down tommorow and have a look.
 
Is there any reason that I cannot start it briefly once the belt is on, before I fit the timing cover/waterpump/rad?
 
So long as there is water and oil in the engine, running it for a few 'confirmatory ' seconds should be ok imho.
