timing belt replacement on 2.8TD

White Elephant and Ferret, the patrol is now back in one piece with the new timing belt and associated parts. All appears to be well thought he mind is playing tricks by telling me that there are more rattles than before! By far the most difficult part of the job thus far has been getting a socket on the engine block coolant drain plug, having had the radiator out to get the puiller on I figured I may as well drain and replace the coolant with a fresh lot.
Thanks for your help gentlemen, it was greatly appreciated.

No problem at all Bruce, not everyone knows everything, and I am happy to share my limited knowledge with those who need it, I dont profess to be an expert but I have had a lot of experience with the problem you have or had ATM, This is what this forum is all about, sort of sharing what you know and as White Elephant said, pleased you got the job done.
All the best with your repairs.
Cheers, the ferret
