Well had the L322 a year now after 12 years of the P38 and loving it. It let me down in the summer when a solenoid in the gearbox gave up on the way to a trip to the coast, but thats all done.
Before i purchased it the car had loads of work done inc new head gaskets, centre gasket and timing chain.
I was a little annoyed at a little rattle that i could hear when stationary and came to the conclusion that the chain wasn't put in correctly or the vanos was going south. Having done a little research into taking a range rover apart at the front i thought id take a look at the pump. Yes it can do a twerk in the wrong direction and has stood since early March to get sorted. Ive ordered the pump from Island 4x4 (which is apparently an oem make) and thought whilst im at it ill do the 80 deg c mod on the thermostat as its far too hot under there when the suns out.
Any way just a few questions.
Ive ordered the mod from the Cheq man on Ebay 2 weeks ago but still not arrived. He said hes sent another one out with tracking and the tracking says at Heathrow DC on Friday but not shifted from there. How long did it take yours to arrive ?
secondly any tips on keeping those pipes in place at the back whilst taking out the pump
Now the weather is turning on the positive side i can get it done but im not going to do it without the thermostat mod at the same time
