All sorted now thanks turned out to be a faulty brand new britpart kill switch 🤦‍♂️ All good now so happy days. Thanks for all you help and ideas 😁

All sorted now thanks for all your help. It turns out the cam belt had been fitted correctly, it was the brand new britpart kill switch was faulty!! Changed back to the old one and fired straight up. Happy days😁

Thanks I’ll check after work and have a look. I did pull the push rods one by one. I’ll check the cam is moving the push rods as well. Going to try blending at he injectors as well just to make sure there’s fuel there too 👍

Hi my 300 tdi stopped on the drive the other day, turns out it was the cam belt tensioning wheel collapsed. I’ve replaced the belt and timed up etc and it won’t start I’ve removed the rocker cover and rail expecting to find the push rods bent however they were fine. I would normally check valves but have read it’s highly unlikely there bent if the push rods aren’t bent. Has anyone got any ideas before I take the head off. Thanks in advance wes

Just removed the pushrods and they are all fine no damage. Any ideas on why to try next? 👍

Hi sorry for the delay I removed the timing belt cover to find a collapsed tensioner , I’ve since replaced the belt an re timed it up and still won’t start so I presume it’s bent valves or push rods or both so need to investigate a bit more has anyone got any experience on what order to check first 😁

Thanks I’ll have a look tomorrow 👍

Hi Steve just removed the FIP solenoid and no change and more ideas I have smoke at the exhaust now when turning over pic below just to make sure I have the correct solenoid 👍

No factory alarm/immobiliser 👍

Thanks Steve I’ll try it in the morning and let you know 👍

No smoke when turning it over thanks steve

Hi fairly new to defenders I have a 300 tdi 90, which has been running great, the other morning I started it up while I moved another vehicle out of the way to get out it ran for about five mins and cut out and won’t restart, I’ve changed the lift pump and checked I have 12v at the fuel cut solenoid. I have also cracked injectors one by one and appears to have fuel at each one when being turned over. Has anybody got any ideas what to check next? Before checking the timing hasn’t jumped which I can’t see happening at idle. Thanks in advance Wes

Is it the same feel as the standard clutch? 👍

The clutch on my 90. 300tdi started to slip yesterday in 3rd gear. My question is what updated clutches do you recommend? Thanks in advance
