Its running fine but I've got a bit of a rattle
Well there I was at work and the boss says come and have a look at this.
He says to me "The driver just drove it in and said its developed a bit of an odd noise, almost a rattle from the engine, but its running fine.
Can you have a look at it for me."
So the boss did then called me cos he'd just taken it fo a test drive down the A45 to wellingborough (6 miles) and back. Then he'd started
to look for the noise he'd heard while driving it.
See if you can spot it from the first post after this.

Was there ever a cam belt cover? If so, where did it go?
Also, something appears to be missing from the injection pump.

Yep. Looks like the cam pully is hanging off to me.
Belt looks decidedly pi55ed.
