I don't know if anyone remembers my problem with my 93 RRVSE and the
loud knocking/cracking noise, that seemed to be coming from the engine?
Well, after months of postponing the inevitable I was forced by the
failure of the vehicle to pass it's MOT, into spending a small fortune
with a local garage to make it roadworthy again.
During this process they discovered that the offside catalytic
converter had disintigrated and this was the source of the horrendous
noise. Cutting open the box and removing it's contents cured the
problem, cost £60. To think, the last time I mentioned this problem I
was negiotiating with a guy in Bristol for a replacement engine costing
close to £1000.
What really irks me though is that my local Landrover expert thought it
was the bearings on the crankshaft, causing the crank to move back and
fore, that was the source of the racket. Whereas the local garage I
ended up using, primarily a BMW/Mitsubishi dealership, found the actual
fault on the first day.
So much for specialists.

P.S. If anyone knows someone gullible enough to actually want to own a
93 RRVSE with air suspension and LPG conversion, please let me know. I
would love to get rid of mine and never have anything to do with
Landrover again.
