Done Me Tappets (my First time) but now the car shakes (and engine) more than it did before, I have done something wrong ?
 
the landy is 23 years old and maybe with the same injectors ?

Can't hurt to service them. When I bought my ex-MOD truck the injectors were horrid. A good service and cleaning did them wonders. i eventually replaced them (worn pintles) but the service did make a significant difference.

No. He means don't take them apart. Take them out and clean them by all means, use new washers when putting them back in. If you take them apart, you will disturb the pressure at which they open to release fuel into the cylinder, which is bad.
 
I've got this job to do soon, please can you elabrate on the "Rule of 9" for me?
turn engine till a valve starts to go down , then carefully carry on turning till that valve is fully down, ()if you feel youve gone too far go on to the next valve)from front of engine count back to fully open valve, if no 4 is fully down set 5 if no 3 is fully down set 6 , the 2 numbers add up to 9, no 8 fully down set 1
