    If on LPG make sure you have a valve lube system in place akin to the flash lube system to prevent valve seat regression.

    L322 Bloody chain guides

    Beware that the cheaper timing kits can be slopply made....tolerances are key to the timing on the M62, also check how the VANOS Cam Plate Locating Pegs are made, some are loose.

    2003 L322 HSE V8 4.4L Petrol: mysterious connector - please help

    Looks to be for the Secondary Air Injection system.....which appears to be missing on your engine....there should be an aluminium pipe that runs from one bank to the next across the front of the water pump and has a vacuum operated valve on it, operated by a solenoid on top of the intake...

    L322 Bloody chain guides

    replace the tensioner is a must...and then consider it a service item, every 50-60k miles....or 3 years I have just done my guides (one had snapped), chains, VANOS, breather hoses, PCV, Cyclone and all tensioners.....was involved and HIGHLY recommend putting the bolts in labelled bags or...

    Decided to Sell... Looking for advice.

    ...Get a new Missus.... I am lucky with mine she loves the brand so whilst it is a bind, she puts up with the 'issues' and as long as I keep the costs manageable, she accepts beans on toast for a couple weeks at such times!

    Evoque Need some help with my Range Rover Evoque 2016 Diesel

    Minimum Price Point...hmmm, no....but the Range Rover was always meant to be the pinnacle of the Land Rover marque, unrivelled luxury and comfort along with unmatched off road ability....what price that is makes no difference, but would you consider the Evoque to be a flagship vehicle....not so...

    Evoque Need some help with my Range Rover Evoque 2016 Diesel

    I am of course talking in relative terms....relative to the FFRR, the Evoque is priced 'for the masses' so to speak. I cerrtainly couldn't afford an Evoque, hence why my Range Rover is old - and she does go off road, we do lanes, she tows stuff and then gets filled with crap for the tip....and...

    Evoque Need some help with my Range Rover Evoque 2016 Diesel

    Oh blimey no - similar to yourself, I didn't pay that for mine, nor would I..... My point is not about 'my car is more expensive than yours' it is about the Range Rover brand is being brought down from its flagship status by making cheaper models under its name....the Evoque, the Velar and...

    Evoque Need some help with my Range Rover Evoque 2016 Diesel

    I think you may have misundersood my point - it is a great little Land Rover, it is exactly what JLR need and it is a great little earner for them...I have no issue with the Ejoke being a Land Rover, or even existing, I question it being part of the Range Rover stable for sure..... But as a Car...

    Evoque Need some help with my Range Rover Evoque 2016 Diesel

    My dad always told me...'Son, never take the micky out of someone else's car, they have worked hard for it just as you have'.... But this is my argument with the Evoque, the point of Range Rover is to be the flagship of the Land Rover brand...but all they have done is cheapen the product to...

    Buying a 2003 to 2012 RR. Which one is best?

    L322 Diesel Models - the only one to go for is the 4.4 TDV8 which is a bit of a gamble at £8k..... The earlier 3.6's I'd steer clear of.... and the Td6 - whilst it is a good engine, the gearbox is made of soft cheese and will eventually fail, again and again and again.... Yes the Petrol...

    Buying a 2003 to 2012 RR. Which one is best?

    Later models better....but £8k won't get much past 2008ish....TDV8 is the one to have...but the 4.4 version....but your budget won't stretch to that quite! The 3.6 TDV8 is beleaguered with problems apparently... I would look for a loved 4.2 S/C around 2007....but again £8k is at the...

    (whispers) - I've done that too....order something you don't *really* need for a few pence to tip it over the £50 mark to save the £5 delivery.... It does annoy me a tad that their listings don't include VAT, so I sit there with and Excel spreadsheet open that I can type the prices in and it...

    Too Right....not sure why they get such good reviews....as their build quality is a but meh in places.....the M62 is a great engine ruined by being made over complex!
