Good day all.

Just interfusing myself, Riaan from Botswana and this is my 1st Land Rover RR. It's a 2003 RR 4.4 V8 BMW engine. I'm waiting for a timing chain kit that I have ordered as I do have the timing chain grinding noise. So I'm not driving it now until I can fix it. In general the car is in mint condition and have 112k Km (70k Miles) on. I'm looking forward to start driving as everyone that owned a LR told me it's the best drive ever.

Welcome .

Are you doing the work yourself? if so have a look around as I am sure somebody on here documented it @biketeacherdave I think.
Yes they are a lovely drive, enjoy it.

Thank you , I'm waiting on a Quote from a local mechanic (He worked for Land Rover) if he does the work. If he is way more expensive than a timing tool kit I will do it myself.

Thanks I will have a look for the wright up on doing it. I did watch some videos as well.

Thanks I will see how to find your wright up.
I did order the E-Bay kit so for now that's what I will get as long as it will work. When you say there is a "tool missing" is that a tool to do the job with ? I got a local mechanic that have all the tools needed to do the job.

Hello and welcome

Good Day All.
Just some feedback. I decided to remove the fanbelt and start the car to see if the noise is still there as I was not 100% comfortable that the chain guides was my problem. It started and got up to temp and no noise . I then turned the alternator and felt some resistance . After removing and taking the alternator apart it came clear that the last owner got a problem and he did not sort it. So resulting in destroying the alternator beyond repair. I got a 2nd hand one and the car is running 100% and so comfortable .
I did get a Air suspension error but I know that I have to Fix the left front bag is its leaking. Other than that so far so good.
