    Help discovery 2 will not start after timing chain snapped

    still don't know how it knows it is on the power stroke, maybe it fires injectors at every TDC but will only injects fuel when the lobe on the cam shaft is in the right position, ie every other TDC per cylinder.

    Help discovery 2 will not start after timing chain snapped

    check compression, turn engine over by hand should be very hard at times, if compression ok, fuel is not being injected or being injected at the wrong time, the timing is created by the crank shaft sensor and the cam shaft sensor, if one of these is not working it will not know when to inject...

    Discovery 300 tdi

    Broke down on the way to work

    use the drain screw on bottom of filter to check for water in fuel, could be lift pump, you will have to loosen the fuel input pipe on the back of the injector pump to check this, move crank shaft round so that lobe on cam shaft is in the low position so that the lever on the lift pump will work.

    2004 disco 2 Transferbox & Gearbox overhauling

    cant see why you would replace a gearbox that has no problems, unless the noise is coming from the gearbox, if its noisy in 1.2.3 but quiet in 4th and noisy in 5th then it will be a leyshaft bearing. Steve

    Smoking after overrun and stop start

    Blue is burning engine oil, Turbo seals, valve guides/seals, sounds like valve guides/seals if you get it after over run, sucking oil down the inlet guides, new stem seals and check wear on guides, move valve up 8mm any more than 0.15mm side ways movement and valves/guides are shot. Steve
