Wife was coming up a hill and this happened. went back to normal and she got home ok. Codes: P22D2 - turbocharger turbine inlet valve stuck open P22CF - turbocharger turbine inlet solenoid circuit. Live data showed, as far as I can tell, the turbine inlet valve was closed. So, where is the...

171k miles. The right-hand camshaft sprocket broke and caused damage to the valvetrain on that side. The engine still ran on the left bank just long enough to pull in to the kerb. I’ve taken off the RHS cylinder head enough to inspect the pistons and bores, which are all fine. Top spec HSE...

Sorry it’s taken a while, @derwendolly - this one?

Somewhere on the internet (did lots of searching) it was suggested that this code was ‘common’. Not sure, but it worked.

Thanks to @neilly for this thread - I used the PDF to rescue a dead D2 from my mate. No EKA code, but I tried 1515 which worked. Problem was a weak RF receiver (in the roof). I eventually found that holding the key right next to it would get it to unlock. New receiver, PN: YWY 000080, sorted...

I have had some problems with Bell recon VCUs, but they have been very good at sorting them out. One support bearing rubber perished and failed after 1 year. Another support bearing failed after 18 months. A recon VCU failed after 20,000 miles, completely seized. It was a needle roller bearing...

I’ll have a look... The camera that works is ok, and would have been useful for launching the boat the other week - 180deg reverse, then 90deg the other way, blind side. Imagine reversing round a question mark. Snapped crank - yikes! I’ll have a google. Keep the oil clean and don’t rag it, I...

Our Disco 3 shat itself (busted valvetrain RHS) and I’ve bravely run away from it. Found a nice Disco 4 owned by a mate and bought it quick, as the wife was using my Defender. Our old Disco was an 07 HSE, and the new one’s an 09 HSE. 1. Only one camera works - is it easy to get replacements...

Got the head loose, but not off as there’s something holding it at the back I can’t reach. Cylinders look fine, crank turns ok. It looks like a new head would get this going again, but it was a massive hassle to get this far with the body on. It might be worth taking in somewhere to get the...

Cam chain is ok, but one of the camshaft cap bolts has sheared off, and many of the cam followers have been damaged/displaced. This must have happened as the pistons hit the valves, but why it all started is a mystery. That’s enough for me today. What more needs to come off for head removal...

Busted camshaft sprocket. There’s also some damage to the timing cover near the tensioner: Why did the cam sprocket break? Is it worth fitting a new one, and a timing belt/tensioner, and trying it out?

Didn’t get a chance to look today, but thanks for the advice for now. I’ll have a read of the haynes manual to find out where the various belts are. It’s an 07, (7A model year). I read the buyers’ guide on here, and asked the seller about the oil pump - he said it was the new type.

171k miles. Took it on a long journey with the boat on the back last week. On the way back, there was a burning smell, possibly rubber, so I stopped and had a look. Seemed to be coming from the back of the engine, and could see some coming away from the gearbox. There was a small split in the...

Just to let you know there’s a project car in the ‘for sale’ part of the forum.

My mate’s wife bought a K series, sight unseen and without consulting him, and it has been a bit of a saga... It overheated, and I replaced the water pump for him (just spinning on its axis, not pumping). The timing was also out a tooth. It then dropped a valve, even though I got the timing...

If t didn’t crack straight away, you didn’t cut it enough or didn’t hit it hard enough. Don’t fret about cutting slightly into the hub spindle, either.

Sort of understandable on both sides. A bit of logic needed: AG crowd: ‘Why are you asking sensible questions in AG?’ OP: ‘Because Anything Goes’. OP: ‘Why am I getting silly answers in AG?’ AG crowd: ‘Because Anything Goes’.

When the alternator brushes wear down, they can cause intermittent charging. What is your battery light doing?

Is the wheelarch fuel pump running with ign on?
