Thread: Newbie- Camshaft Help Urgently Needed!!!

Hey guys, we just bought a disco tdi 200 with a rebuilt motor,, only 400 ks done. After taking it for a nice 800k drive and changing oil ect . it seemed to drop a valve !!! after removing tappet cover we found number 3 intake push rod not moving. so we remove head and then find NO problem with cam followers .
After removing followers we found cam has MOVED !! about 20mm also found lots of other loose nuts bolts and so on .. i think this guy i bought it off put it back together himself.
What is the quickest easiest way to put cam back in place we have full manual,
but very limited for time.
We bought this beauty because we have been offered a job up on the Gibb river rd and need to be there on the 23 rd april. It is heart breaking to be ripped off like this, but hoping someone can suggest some ideas and options..
engine and rest of discovery is in great nick ..and we love it
Thanks
Tim

Havnt looked inside one myself but I would say pull all of the cam followers and the vacuum pump to start with. Not sure what holds the cam in but it must be behind the timing cover.

Hope this helps a bit.
