I am looking to replace the timing gear on a 6 cylinder BMW Diesel in a P38. The upper and lower timing chain and top two gears/sprockets are available but my supplier reports that the crankshaft gear/sprocket (part number STC2091) is obsolete! They have checked with dealers across Europe but with no success. No-one has stock. Has anyone come across this problem? Does anyone know if a part from the engine as fitted to BMW's would fit? and if so, does anyone know the part number?

All available from Island 4x4. Your supplier didn't try very hard did he? Crank sprocket £50.00 plus vat. BMW part is same.
 
@Wammers, no, they didn't look very hard did they : ( I won't tell you who because they are normally very good. Anyway, thanks to all for the very quick response. True, there are not many P38 Diesels in Malaysia there were only around 2,500 P38's imported overall and the vast majority were 4.6 petrol.
 
Looking into my Receipt I make the sprocket Landrover code stc 2143 I think you should double check and if so try BMW as they should be able to convert it over
 
STC2143 is the camshaft gear. I am looking for the crankshaft gear. I will check the BMW link and report back.

Try the number I supplied as I bought a set sprockets cam crankshaft and fuel pump chains and guides back in November had no problems then !
