Found it hopefully little end on cylinder number three... weird how it made the noise though...

Had the rockershaft out checked the little caps on the valve springs, removed and checked the pushrods for damage or bends and redid the tappets again no big gaps no rough running.. Next thing I'm trying is remove the vac pump and blank it off (just to try it) and changing the lift pump did try a stethoscope that's how I came to thinking the injector was at fault.

Driving my land rover home the other day/month and noticed a light ticking sounded top end so I took it home and parked it up for a bit got round to doing a oil change and checked the tappets. All the tappets where equal slightly small but all even, nothing nasty came out the sump on the oil change. Drove it up the road and the light tapping changed to a horrible noise see first video. talked to a few people who suggested vac pump so changed that. This is the video after.. Had a listen with a stethoscope and sounded really like number 3 injector so it's a while since having any new or reconditioned so put a new set in this is the video after doing that.. haven't got any further just after suggestions. Oil pressures good no excessive smoke no miss fires and cold start is spot on Any ideas? Thanks

Does anyone know who does there springs these days i've had two sets and have always been happy how the old girl handles but the old sets getting a bit tired now just not sure who sells them these days? think i got the last lot from nene valley tyres ? thanks.

todays top tip! not sure if its been covered if your motors knackered a citroen saxo motor fits straight on!

best thing i ever did was binned the land rover gauge and sender and fitted a vdo gauge and sender..

I had nothing but trouble with my drum brake changed to x-eng disc never looked back

Dead simple get a test lamp find the feed on the relay block from the dipped beam cicuit and link it to the dipped beam output (blue and red i think) then should be all good (i think i'm right not 100%sure its about 4 years since i last dumped one of these relays) either way you have to link two wires. cheers

Can you still use a gkn overdrive on an auto box? and is there any point? also how sluggish do they become? Thanks.

working on a 300tdi the other day and the boost vacuum pipe went to the fuel pump like normal and also the timing case and no wading bung hole in the cover?

sorry meant to say it was vaccuuming on mine took the cap of and you could see the diesel disappeering back down the filler neck!

the mot is a complete waste of time i had a vehicle that the brake pipe burst during the brake test you couldn't fail it beacause the brake pipe was behind a cover so you couldn't see it and that could have been life threatning!!

i had the same problem new caps didn't sort it so in the end i extended the breather on the filler neck all the way up to the snorkel never had a problem since all good

brilliant thanks guys!!

i would replace them for peace of mind but it shouldn't have failed its mot the book says if you (the tester) thinks that the sidewalls are corroded over 50% of the original thickness then you can fail it if you are not sure you pass and advise...
