    Struggling with that myself. The best of all was here on the forum, but that mighty bloke is no longer with us, sadly.

    Roverparts are now British Auto Parts. I've only dealt with them once, but ok. Not a shop, online only, as I found out...

    Land Rover Parts - Home

    You could try British Off Road - The Land Rover spare parts specialists - Parts

    Good luck. TDi is a simple and tough beast.

    If you're interested, Mike at Britannica Restorations is a wealth of knowledge. TDis are his bread and butter:

    Might check the Rimmer Bros UK site and the lead times, Bought a lot of 60's Jagwah and Mini parts as well as Old Rangie bits over the years from them and apart from slow pack and dispatch they aren't horrendous, Sadly I've been spoilt buying Euro bits from the US for price and quality but TDi stuff doesn't exist in Murica.
    Ta for the link, I'll dive into the youtoobs shortly :-)

    Excellent! Welcome both of you. It's very red, isn't it? Enjoy. IMO a 300TDi is an great first LR.

    Stud broke. Yes, it was the upgraded stud, and yes it was at the correct tension. ( the rust is because it's been open for a while. Going back together now )

    If you find similar damage be sure to look down the push rod holes at the bronze fittings on top of the lifters. Sometimes they will be damaged by the same force that breaks the rockers. Mine weren't, thankfully.

    Thing I found most astonishing is it was still running... sorta. Lots of "Jeep noises" from the snorkel.
    Well here's your prooooblem ..........
