P38 Diesel Injector Pump & Cam Top Dead Centre?

[UnitLandy]

Thanks for the kind words, lads.

 

[Mark Piercy]

Get well soon lad. That land-rover ain't fixing itself

 

[Datatek]

Yeah, I was sceptical about the covid jab but now I feel certain it has something to do with this.

Thousands of deaths and injury caused by the jab.

 

[Rubberknees]

Thousands of deaths and injury caused by the jab.

I stopped having it a long while back as I was always ill afterwards. This proved to be a link to my Guillain - Barre syndrome

 

[UnitLandy]

Well the news is in & its the timing chain. How much of a faff is that?

 

[Mark Piercy]

Oh dear, missed oil changes in a previous ownership
It's a big job that's for sure and if not done it's engine life over

 

[UnitLandy]

Garage won't touch it so I'll have to take it to a specialist.

 

[Mark Piercy]

At least they haven't said they will do it without knowledge of the job. It's a big job that immobilizes the car and involves a certain amount of time. I've not done mine yet but need to so at some point even after 270k but I know it's going to be an event to say the least

 

[Grrrrrr]

Yeah, I was sceptical about the covid jab but now I feel certain it has something to do with this.

You and many others. My mother is in her eighties with many issues and yet on the balance of risk I still advised her not to have it, especially when they keep trying to give it to her every 6 months.

 

[Grrrrrr]

I bet most garages would just swap it out. FIP refurb is above my grade for sure.

 

[UnitLandy]

Just got the FIP done nicely, too. I sold my engine hoist, too after I rebuilt the series engine.
Tempted to have a stab at this job. Its farting on taking all the auxiliaries off that gets me down.

 

[Dippypud]

How much did you get yours for?

Try getting a price for a re-core …

 

[UnitLandy]

What's a re-core if you don't mind my asking?

 

[Dippypud]

What's a re-core if you don't mind my asking?

It was in reply to your buying a new rad, a new core is fitted and any repairs to the fittings, usually cheaper than a new Chinese radiator

 

[UnitLandy]

Oh, I see. Radiators the least of my issues now.

 

[Datatek]

You and many others. My mother is in her eighties with many issues and yet on the balance of risk I still advised her not to have it, especially when they keep trying to give it to her every 6 months.

I looked at the stats regarding the vaccine. GSK technology known to cause blood clots. MRN never before used and testing rushed. Limited effectiveness in both cases. I refused, told the doctor if my time has come to die, I would prefer to die of the disease rather than the cure.

 

[UnitLandy]

I, unfortunately, had two shots. The initial & the booster. I did initially refuse but it turned into a cult that you had to have it so I stupidly went along for both shots.

 

[ovalandrover]

Well the news is in & its the timing chain. How much of a faff is that?

The timing chains can be renewed in situ but you do need a good 22 mm socket and about a 2 meter bar to get the nut undone on the front pulley and i use a bar to hold the crank rather than just rel.y on the timing pin to hold it

 

[ovalandrover]

I bet most garages would just swap it out. FIP refurb is above my grade for

the FIP is quite easy and there are a few videos on u tube showing you how but you do need some special sockets and a impact wrench to undo the screws.

Ethiopia is one where rabies is high risk. i booked in for a consultation and got a phone call a it was cancelled because their computer system was down and every thing stops because they cant work without t.hem remindes me of Little Britton (Computer says NO )
