It sound like you will take the advise already given and look at the
bottome end but I would strongly advise against fooling with the pump
timing. If it was running well previously it is unlikely that the
pump timing would all of a sudden gone off unless the pump is loose
for some strange reason. Timing seems to one of those things that we
driveway mechanics always want to "fiddle" with when things are not
running quite right but I suggest that on the diesel you resist this
urge unless you know what you are doing. Diesels are very sensitive
to correct pump timing and serious damage can be done if you get it wrong.
Good luck and I hope it is nothing too $$$. How do you like the XD3T
in the Rover? What model Rover do you have? I always thought that
that engine would be great in an 88". A friend is doing the
conversion right now, a spare engine of mine into myh old '60 SII 88"
as a matter of fact, but it is not a priority so it might be a while
before I get a test drive.
