Yes I have organised onward travel and pulled the car to a friends but can’t go any further due to weight.

Hi all my L322 is currently sitting in Stanley County Durham and wont start. Sounds like it has low compression (not the timing). displaying fault code P1672 so it looks like it needs to be resynced. does anyone close by have Nanocom I could hire please?

Edited to prevent the shameless hawking of a business instead of using a forum correctly.

Good evening all, as usual I bow in your presence and hope to bask in the warm glow of your knowledge (and hopefully save my wallet). I have a 2002 Range Rover. Bought as a non runner the previous owner had tried to repair a rocker gasket leak and couldn’t get the thing to start again. I have...

apologies for the duplicate

Yes Griff, that does help thank you. It shows the fitting exactly the same as mine. So now to chase the fault. Heaters are hotter when you rev the engine, I have had the water pump out when I did the oil cooler o rings and PAS pump when the pump wasn’t spinning. It checks out ok. What else...

Having had work done on my TD5 Discovery 2 I have noticed the heaters are still extremely weak. I wondered if the thermostat was plumbed correctly. I have had 2 fitted the same way and the heaters are poor despite the hoses on the radiator being quite warm. I wondered if the flow was incorrect...

Absolutely. I had marked the bottom pulley so I could line it up again a little bit more easily if I had to. Wound it over by hand 5 full revolutions to ensure the tensioner settled and there was no undue resistance. I do wonder if the top pulley could slip and make an otherwise healthy disco or...

Since I didn’t have someone to wind over the engine by hand technology came to my assistance and I managed to use my phone camera to line up the crank pin. Instantly found the cam to be a tooth out . I’ve adjusted it and it now runs unbelievably differently. I would recommend timing a TD5 using...

Well that’s also confirmed my worst fears that I’m better off getting someone else to do it, I still think the timing is out maybe a tooth, but I can’t rely on help to spin the engine while I’m under neath so I figure I’ll leave it alone.

Crank pin installed tonight. No sign of the key way on the camshaft it looks to be about 180 degrees out. That’s it for me. It’s confirmed my worst fears. I’m not going any further. It’s going to a specialist for repair and then I’ll take up the costs with the garage that did the cylinder head...

I don’t have a helper to turn the engine while I try and align the crank locking tool unfortunately and I’m only trying to confirm if the timing is indeed out at this stage.

I haven’t used the truck for a while as I’m paranoid about it and I’m concerned that it is indeed badly timed. I bought some pins to double check and my findings are as follows. I wound the engine over by hand until I could get the timing mark on the cam pulley aligned with the 2 bright links...

thank you for your advice. The injectors have been checked that they are in the correct order, they have now had the preload adjusted but this made no difference. I have disconnected the MAF sensor and it drives exactly the same. The actuator is free and not binding at all. Since it had loads...

Hi guys, my 2002 td5 has had some issues since purchasing. I think the oil cooler orings failed (repaired) which led to water pump failure (repaired) and PAS pump failure (repaired) but because it probably overheated the head maybe warped. I have had it skimmed and refitted by an independent...
