The tapping didn't get any louder when I removed the oil filler cap so chances are it is the water pump

No the temperature always sits in the middle and hasn't run low in water until I noticed the rusty colored water today. I'll slip the belt off tomorrow and have a look I'll keep you updated cheers for the help much appreciated

Would it tap if it was knackered? there's a whine too could that be the water pump too? Suppose I ciuld slip the aux belt off and listen

Hi all, My discovery 300tdi auto starter out with a little tap but over the last couple of weeks its got worse. I did an oil change recently thinking it may just need a service but no change. I've read a couple of threads leading ro the vaccum pump so i got one today and im going to fit it...

Ive locate a pipe that had come off of the air intake so thats that problem solved but after my 460 round trip the enhine has stared tapping a little even after a full service today :mad:

Oops apologise :o

Hi all, I've just got my 300tdi discovery on the road and I want to take the kids out for a little bit of off roading. Well I say off roading just a steep muddy hill really (nothing to harsh as I want them to like it lol) any ideas of some were local to Handsworth? Cheers guys

Is it really worth the £600 to go back to air (and the probable problems your going to get later on? Each to there own I suppose but me personally would stick with the springs

Ha ha. Have you done s google search? You might find there's one nearer thsn you think
