Haven't posted for a while after moving house, wife having a baby, and my Disco behaving itself. Until Monday when around half a mile from home something went bang. Pictures below show the culprit. Meet the new compact rocker shaft that comes in four pieces! Looks like one of the centre bolt threads had pulled out causing a bit of Shake rattle and roll.
Have stuck an M8 helicoil in, new rocker shaft, four new push rods, eight tappet screws and nuts and three cover bushes. It runs fine now, except I now notice a faint beating noise from the air box, and I have no idea if this is normal, as I can't remember if it did it before. just a quick question to any 300tdi EDC owners out there. Do you hear a noise such as this on yours, as I don't know anyone who has a similar vehicle. Also on squeezing the top intercooler hose, (after market following EGR removal) I can feel a pulsing in the hose. Again can anyone confirm this is normal or not please? Last thing I want is another breakdown especially on the M11 which is where I'm heading tonight!
Thanks in advance,
Andy
