Haha good call mate!!
And yeah I get now what your both saying, it all makes sense once you stop and think about it.
Adjusting the fuel pump timing did drastically reduce the tapping noise however it is still more pronounced then it used to be so will have to look into that.
Overall though it is running smoothly and I couldn't be happier! Just have to fix the wipers so they stop blowing the fuse all the time and my Defender will be up to scratch again:)
lets be fair now its an easy trap to fall into and not work out if you've been taught how to do IP's by guys so redneck I seem white collar.Quote:

After the re-tension of the belt there is no mention of rotating again & once again making sure the pin slides nicely in-out of the pump, which is the last step on my list & in the manual.
The problem would have been found straight away if a re-check was done right after, then could have been followed by rotating the IP as you did to slide the pin in-out nicely.
Always remember to check, recheck & then check again
