I had one from Turner Engineering, it was more expensive, but worth the cost as the LR supplied oil pump that they fitted to the short engine failed after about 8,000 miles. Following 1 email. Turners did everything, they negotiated with my local garage and covered the cost of everything except the oil and filter.

I can't recommend them highly enough.

My 2000 model 4.6 running on LPG is running just fine.

Moss. I take my hat off to you.

It sounds as though you have had a nice job done and paid accordingly.

I hope you have done this work on a nice one.....I am sure you have..

Enjoy...
