Cyman01 Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 Can anybody help me. I have a Freelander 1 2lt diesel. The timing belt broke so I pulled the head off expecting bent valves but it only smashed the lifters. Put everything back together (new gasket bolts tappets etc} Timing is spot on, pin locking crankshaft, cam gear aligned perfectly. Injector pump locked in place. Fitted new belts, It wont start, checked compression 275-350 psi across the cylinders. Fuel gets to the injectors. So fuel, compression, correct timing, still no go !!!! have I missed some special Land Rover thing ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tacr2man Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 try giving it a squirt of easy start , and see if it fires up , if it doesnt its got to be a valve timing problem , coz if the valves and crank are timed correct it will fire, even without any diesel injection . If it does fire then its injection problem , either no injection or wrong time totally . HTSH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
