[300tdi rebuild 'mystery holes']

Hello,

Can anyone tell me what these holes are? There's no thread and they go down to what looks like a polished shaft. I did consider locating holes for wiring loom clamps.

Thanks for the help guys.

 Looking at the video, I noticed he mentioned where the keyway should be pointing roughly when timed correctly. That's where the keyway on mine is pointing, so I'm assuming (even though I didn't consciously do it) I had it at TDC when I took it apart. I just wish I could be sure.  Worst case scenario if I'm wrong?

I'm not sure I understand about using a dial gauge to set the pump timing?

There are several other videos about too, all showing the same thing basically - set the pump timing using a dial gauge and lock it off. Introduce the pump, set the engine timing and lock it off with timing pin. Then do up the pulley nut. Then make sure to unlock the pump and the engine.

Hello,

I'm foolishly rebuilding my 300tdi and came across this issue when I went to put the timing gears and new belt back on. Theres a woodruff key slot in the shaft but not on the flange that goes on it. Am i missing some simple premise here? Because I can't see how I can know where the flange should sit on the shaft without a slot? I do remember reading (after I hurriedly dismantled the engine) that I shouldn't have undone the centre bolt. Well, I did and now i don't know how to time the injector pump. Can anyone offer some advice? I've attached pics so you can see.

Thanks

Thank you all for you replies. They were all very helpful and appreciated. The winner is, however, Paul MC. That was spot on, Mate! I would never have known to pull the yellow bit out. The minute i did, it was easy to see the tab to be lifted. Well done!

[Removing pins from an electrical connector]

Hi, I'm hoping one of you super awesome Landrover Godz could assist me. I'm trying to repair a broken wire to the fuel shutoff solenoid. The wire has hardened over time and broken inside the insulation. I have a new wire and have opened the plug.

This is it from the front

from the side

from the back.

Does anyone know how to remove the pins from this connector. I'm hoping it doesn't require a special tool.

Thanking you in advance.
