    Disco 2 broken rocker shaft bolt

    The garage tried both methods on my snapped bolt to no avail, head was taken off and swapped for my spare head, even with the head off , the snapped bolt is being a pig to get out, I'm going get it on a milling machine to get it out the correct way. The bolts are hard as hell .

    Disco 2 broken rocker shaft bolt

    I had the same problem this week, if they snap on the way in you may be able to get the out with good quality left hand drill bits, if they snap on the way out you will end up taking the head off ! Mines off now and I'm putting my spare head on with all new bolts, gaskets, genuine seals etc ...

The starting problem that only occurs when the jeep is parked at certain angles, note ! Not all the time ! If the jeep is on my drive it starts first flick of the time every time , if I...

    Fuel filter was renewed not long ago, as was the air filter, in starting to think this could be linked to the other problem it has with air in the fuel system ?

    I've never had it plugged in to anything to see if there are any fault codes showing, there is no warning lamps illuminated on the dashboard, I have just tried the waste gate control bypass and tried it down the motorway, it's still surging when throttled hard.

    I don't think your on the right track, it's fine when it's been warmed up, it's more than likely the gearbox oil !
