Hi , looking for some advise / guidance.
I have owned my 2015 2.0L Sport for about 9 months, its done 105K.
The engine has decided to die due to the timing chain failing whilst on the motorway.
I am looking to get a rebuild fitted to get it back on the road.
Does anyone have any recommendations ?
Thanks in advance.

I’ve just had a 200 tdi rebuilt by Bambers Automotive Machine Specialists LTD in Preston. Whilst I was there he was showing me round the workshop and he was in the process of rebuilding his sisters 2.0l ingenium engine which had also had timing chain issues.

Thanks johnlad, I will take a look.
If anyone knows of somewhere in the Midlands area it would ideal, but doesn't have to be local, I don't want to have to do the job more than once or to have to keep going back.
Just out of curiosity, has anyone had any experience with www.rangeroverenginespecialists.co.uk ? I have found them on the internet, but not heard of them before.

If it’s one of the companies who collect your car and supposedly deliver it back fixed, be very careful as a lot don’t get there cars back or get them back not fixed but thousands out of pocket.
There’s a thread on LZ somewhere highlighting the company
