Sure is.Thats enough to give you chest pains

POS has only done 50k (allegedly).
But, you can't run around in it with a crank out of time position with cam-gears because the pistons will be kissing the valves pretty soon.
New engine would be 5k on a car worth 9k on autotrader. So its got to be done & worth doing.

Rare bird in the UK for those wanting to guess

It is a juvenile female, as its the time of year they are gathering and getting strength up ready for their winter hols
.Think she was just tired and needed a rest.
As for the cat, in name not nature

Loads of stuff here if you fancy doing it yourself!....Garage just called.
Wifey's BMW Mini Countryman needs a new timing chain (full kit).
£950 + vat but if the existing guide & tensioners have broken up it will be more because the pan will have to come off too!
German Engineering at its finest?

Looked at the first hit (the tube).
Come on @DanClarke it only took him 6 mins
. But probably cost 1k for all the "special tools" though.Oh plus the day to get the engine out
.It also seemed that the crankshaft sprocket was basically held in place with clamping force only, or did I miss a locating dowel/key.might have to watch again.
The only thing I liked was lifting the whole lot out in a oner
.I fink Dans got better things to do with his time TBH

I think there is a Land Rover product that also only holds the Crankshaft in position with clamping force.
Seems barmy to me but then what do i know!!
