It has been suggested that a possible cause for this f%$& up was, that although the locking pins were in at TDC and did not remove them until the appropriate time of refit, when I refitted the cam chain sprocket I did not get it lined up properly so although the TDC line on the sprocket was...

Thanks Rob, Dave apparently moved 4 years ago. Shifty the imprints on top of the pistons are minimal, your finger nail can't catch them so I think that is promising, my problem now is deciding what to do next for the best as trying to rebuild the head may be stretching my mechanical...

I think I have managed to attach some pics, thought you might like to see what I've done :o :(: eek::eek: 211rob, I'm just at the very top of Dept 53 about 12 miles South from St Hilaire du Harcouet (Dept50 Manche) which is again south of Calvados and any help, advice would be gratefully received.

Ow do Shifty, yep, I did the three bolts up to the correct torque, but they were the one that I took out originally as I didn't have any to replace them with and the Haynes does say to replace so my F@*& up! Anyway somewhere in the bottom is one of the bolts, I have recovered the other 2, they...

Feeling a bit stupid, t'was the battery, jumped it and she started, sounded nice and sweet although the throttle didn't seem to be quite as responsive, took up the road probably no more than 1/2 mile, there is a bit of a bank, as I neared the top she started to sound more rattley, like an old...

Thank you Dippypud & Shifty for your input, you have no idea how helpful you are being as this is currently my only source of info out here. Back out to her this morning removed fan and rocker cover so I could watch the movement and I can turn the engine over manually, there are no sounds or...

:confused::confused::confused:

OK with a it more jiggling on the crank I managed to remove the cam locking pin, have put everything back in order, refilled coolant checked oil, turned ignition to II waited for the fuel pump to sort itself out, turn the key and just got clunk! didn't sound like an expensive clunk but just...

sorry Shifty I'm a Haynes mechanic and the book hasn't said anything about backing of injector rockers, certainly no mention in the "the cylinder head-removal, inspection and refitting" section, I'll go and see what it says regards these. I didn't have to hammer it into place but when it was...

I am in the process of refitting the head after replacing the head gasket. The head is back on, the cylinder head bolts in and tightened correctly at all 5 stages, timing chain tensioner and sealing washer tightened and so is the allen screw securing the top of the timing chain fixed guide. I...

Me again. Got the Haynes out and I'm removing the head (from a 2000 TD5 110) now, to replace the Gasket and hopefully not having a new head. The Haynes is pretty good but not being particularly mechanical (but learning fast!!) I'm just getting caught out here and there. 2B.10.12 'Disconnect...

Well how about that, replaced the water pump and have stopped the weep, Fantastic or so I thought.... Just like someone else here in the TD5 section I now have the expansion bottle pressurising and emptying its self but temp gauge showing normal. Bo*%@CKS, so I take I'm now looking at one sniff...

Thanks WSR, have just ordered new pump and D rings, gonna end up with a whole new truck at this rate.

Just replaced oil cooler matrix, radiator, expansion bottle, inter cooler and associated pipe work and now have a weep from a small hole in the casting of the water pump. Is this an over flow or have I just found another problem?

YES!!!! Dave at MM4X4 has found one, genuine LR, should be with me Monday or Tues':biggrin1:

Hi OSD, no luck yet tried your guys a couple of times but no answer, everywhere is on back order till end of Sept so bit stuck.

Thanks OSD, I'll try them in the AM.

Thanks Fanatic but it's not the oil rad I'm after it's the matrix that bolts to the side of the block just below the cartridge filter housing.

Can anyone please suggest somewhere I can get a Defender TD5 oil cooler matrix (PBC500230), they are currently on back order everywhere with first date of supply being end of September :eek:. I have tried 4 UK Landy breakers but they have nothing at the mo'. We are completely stuck so any ideas...

Thanks all thats really quite helpful, there is lots of oil in the water so I will start with the oil cooler. Rean can anyone purchase the coolers from your engineering co' as I would like to replace with one that will last. Thanks again.
