Bad Times

Per the last post where we  we had an awful time getting home from Tebay Services It was time to start the investigation 

After getting the fan out of the way it was a fairly easy process to remove the fan pulley (given everything was locked up there was no hassle stopping it moving. Simply put on a long bar and remove the nut


Then work all the way around the timing case and remove the bolts from the case and it simply pulls off with a sharp tug


What was shown was an absolute mess where the timing belt had almost fully disintegrated 


Whilst some of the teeth were still in place on the belt, others had been stripped off and had been transformed into all the fluff that you can see on the inside of the case in the picture above, and between the pulleys in the picture below 


The next job was to see if the injector pump was to blame (as was suspected because no fule was coming out of it) so with the belt cut a power bar was put on the nut at the end of the pump (bottom left) and an attempt was made to move it... It was solid! 

So it's got to come out to be sent off to a specialist.. That's going to be the next story
