hi guys i have a disco serieses 2 2000 tdi  after about 200 klm after a fuel refill i developed a   metallic tapping noise on top of engine i am a diesel fitter i checked the top end of engine all valve gear good & spring collets in place removed injectors replaced old injectors engine now tight on starter motor turns freely by hand have the injectors got to be programmed as i didn't put them back in the correct order and do you have any idea what the metallic noise is all help would be appreciated

Answer
The order of injectors should not matter.  I don't know what's wrong but the first thing I would try is fresh injectors and fresh fuel.  You may be hearing knock from mixing gasoline with the diesel, which can happen in the tanks of the petrol dealer.
