Tonks, currently got a 110 300 with HG blowing out the back of number 4, at the very back middle of the engine.
In your experience have the engines needed head work?
It just throw a new 3 hole gasket on and be done with it??
Just weighing up the job you see
Just a gasket swap generally cures this fault, it's if it is blown between cylinders it will need a skim.

The vacuum pumps can wear and rattle. Sounds like top end type noise but more from drivers side!

Is a rattling vacuum pump anything to worry about?

The two I've changed were working fine just noisy. I'd imagine if left long enough it may damage the lobe on the cam!?

What is it that fails or wears in them to make the noise?

There's a spring loaded plunger that sits against the cam, I've always presumed it wears down and clatters when the gap gets too big! You can put a long screw driver on it to listen to it to diagnose them, like a stethoscope

Cyprus - so I suppose about a 5-35 degree range. I think the average is about 20, but in summer it pretty much doubles that.
Also, if anyone can point me in the direction of a Land Rover expert out here then that's much appreciated - I wish I was in the UK sometimes, you guys don't know how lucky you are!

I searched the forum as I had the same ticking sort of sound. Turned out to be the head gasket blowing from the back of the 300tdi. hope that helps. Head did not need scimming as it was from the back.
