  1. hi have 33x12.5 and had to trim my plastic arches a tad but works well on full articulation
  2. bearing on my pulley gave up and belt skipped a few teeth. did no damage at all. but normally bent push rods. in my experience so far i would always replace!! this was a new to me landy and i was getting round to doing it....
  3. i suspect mines just broke. i missed a ferry for a holiday i have been looking forward to for ages. i was asking the same as you a month ago. listen to their advice!!
  4. Land rover 90 D-reg with discovery 200tdi engine retro fitted. on the way to the ferry tonight, for our first proper holiday in years, the engine cut out on a slip road we had just been doing 65/70 but were doing 40/50 when it happened. It stalled and we pulled over and it wouldn't start again. i swear i heard a flapping noise so i immediately thought cambelt. mr RAC came out an it wouldn't start. he checked under the pulley cover and the belt was turnin. so the cambelt hadn't snapped as i suspected. but he was puzzled. using easy start straight into the air intake it would run for 5/10 seconds and it sounded awful, it clattered. i think most people describe it as a bag of nails. it sounds like when the tappets need adjusting on my other car. just A LOT louder. i think it may have skipped a tooth or two on the cam belt (which has an unknown history) does this sound likely? to me that would be why it would run, just and the clatter is the valves bumping the pistons. i need to fix it tommorow as we could only change the ferry for tommorow night. If the cam belt has skipped what other damage is lkely to have been done? push rods? anything else? To say i am gutted is an understatement! Thanks for all your help in advance.
