so I've heard, but with less than 20k on the engine, then it was replaced under warranty by Land Rover? who am I to argue?

+1 what's the point in clearing the fault but not knowing what caused it? :lalala: also much cheaper to buy Data's cable :p and as Saint V8 has already said Nanocom for diagnostics

:-) looking forward to having mine back on the road and heading off to France again :-) poor service, anyone that has ever worked on a car knows that when you drop something in an engine bay it gets eaten by the black hole. you just need to be tenacious and find it! don't bodge it!

**update** sorry I know it's been a while as I've managed to find an M51 engine with very low miles but a cracked block I have decided to change over as many parts as possible, last night I managed the timing chains, sprockets and tensioners, my old ones from my 170k+ engine were very worn...

try using a ratchet strap

what area are you in?

and if it has count yourself lucky the piston didn't meet the valve! I'd start with the FIP you suspected it before the head gasket, so why would it still not be knackered?

Not many garages these days seem to know what they are doing, most are only happy changing old for new parts and don’t want to know why it failed or how to repair

Sounds like the FIP has had it mine went just before my head gasket popped :mad:

Here we see an abandoned P38 water has completely killed it, you can see the extent of the water on the tyres! here's another stuck due to water, being pushed back to safety by Mike Brewer Even with a snorkel fitted this one has had to be abandoned, look at the owners face

I think a baguette would be better if I was making a turd sandwich, sliced bread would only really work for diarrhoea ;)

life is a **** sandwich that we all have to bite, but the more bread you've got the less **** you'll notice ;);)

indeed it is also post pictures to.... a) help numpties b) proves you're not full of sh*t ;)

better than the genuine Chinese "Boosh" parts ;):D:D:D:D

for next time ;)

I have bought 3 of these kits now and they arrive in 3 working days and are genuine Bosch parts no affiliation with the seller, just speaking from experience

I called a few in MCR and the 2 seals cost more than this kit on eBay:jaw:

it's not that hard :p
