Hello All,
I'm new to the forum, but not Rovers. I am replacing the timing belt on my 300 TDI that was out of a discovery and now in my Range Rover. It has the R380 manual in it. I have the kit and tools for refitting the timing belt from Bearmach, as well as, the tools for timing the FIP. It looks like the crank sprocket was replaced with the lipped one at some point.
In trying to time the motor to replace the belt and and the front seal of the FIP, I have noticed there are no slots machined into the flywheel visible through the wading plug hole, only a machined "X". My questions are as follows:
1) Why are there no slots visible?
2) Can I proceed without locking the flywheel? What to I need to do to ensure that the timing remains accurate?
3) How do I remedy the problem at the flywheel, short of removing the motor and transmission?
Thanks in advance for any help.
Chris
