You've got it. They've done a great job with the new block (it cost enough so I'd hope so). But that sort of thing leaves a bit of a bad taste in the mouth. Either way I'm happy
They're only a half hour drive from me, so I nipped over to pick up a set of everything I'd need for my petrol engine (now in the closing stages like yours). I was given a mini guided tour of the workshop and met the family while we chatted about life, the universe and all thing Land Rover. Very friendly indeed.
But when I 'phoned a few weeks later to question that the pre-sized small end bushes that I'd bought needed massive reaming I got an extremely frosty reception and the implication was that I'd fitted them wrongly. I bought some size-it-yourself ones elsewhere, and now know that the originally supplied ones were about 40 thou wrong, so obviously a rogue set. I've also ended up making half a dozen gaskets up that were missing from the 'complete gasket set' too. I have the same taste in my mouth, great shame but I still send someone there who wanted the rebuild done for them because the incredibly high standard he sets for himself certainly exceed any that I've seen elsewhere.

I agree. I have a lot of respect for people who do any job to a high standard. I’d love to have looked around the factory.
Don't think so. I used the same one.

steerl washers and bolts are designed to be reused just add some loctite to that bolt ,fly wheel bolts and any internal bolt
Like this one?
Alternator tensioner bracket bolts here on the underside of the alternator on the Discovery 200Tdi, you can just see the slotted bar just above the alu intake pipe and blue silicone pipe connector.

Any idea where that black earth runs? I'm sure it was an engine to chassis earth
Not uncommon to fit additional earth straps, that isn't original so would assume fitted from the bloc to the engine mount on the chassis side?
