Yes well happy with the results as she has never been as quiet but would suggest to anyone wanting to do it to purchase the crank tool and the proper timing kit to hold it all in place !!

Ok so investigated the rock cover this morning and the left bank was full of oil. Must have been an inch or at least a ltr of oil in the rocker cover. Drained out cleaned out and removed. Took off the gaskets and the middle gasket had been nicked and also when held up against the old one was...

Have used rvt on it but will just check the seal again and see if the oil cap is trying to escape for victory tomorrow!!

Why do they spec these so well!! Heated screen / so you can see the AA man arrive in winter ! Heated seats / well who wants a cold arse while your waiting for him ! Sat nav/ why when it breaks down your only 5 miles from home and you know this area like the back of your hand! Large fuel tank /...

So over the last 2 weekends my son in law and I have changed the timing chain and all the tensioners and guides. Long hours but achievement was massive after she fired up first turn of the key and sang like a Swiss watch. No oil leaks no water leaks and so the world was a good place and harmony...

As my indie calls them ( bread and butter ) this is the first time iv done one but wasn’t prepared to spend 2k on him doing it. If this goes again I know where there’s a very long drop off a short cliff near by !!!!

Yes will do but kit iv has from island has always been ok before so I hope this won’t be any different!! Don’t need to be doing this again

Don’t know but mine has the same and has no issues with running without it so can only sumise that it is something to do with something for the American market

Cheers for the advice boys think iv got everything covered and didn’t realise that timing the damn thing up was so involved but glad I watched a few videos of it being done. Amazing that some sites charge £400 for a timing kit when you can get them off amazon for £80 !!!. Will be replacing all...

Those are on the list and finally found my oil leaks which where from the vanos solenoids :) By the look of things the tensioner was ok but will replace it I think I just had a guide that failed as there was no other Noise or anything it just suddenly started knocking. What I didn’t realise was...

Not sure I have to rebuild the vanos but will be replacing the cam chain tensioners and the oil pump chain. Spannering wasn’t my thing but 2k to do the job has made me do it !!

So last Friday had new air con rad on and woke up Saturday to find she sounded like a diesel with asthma. Shut her off straight away and dreaded the worst. Never had a rattle a knock or anything from her before and so this came right out of the blue. Garage 2 mins up the road diagnoses a...

To finish this thread spindle has stopped on passenger side. Bastard to replace but done and now AC compressor has packed up. Smiles per miles about 1 *******

No door cards off simple job about 4 screws undo the wiring on the top and pull off. Don pull like a gorilla though as you need to reach the speaker and flood light

You have just answered your own question!! In my experience anything for a Range Rover that looks cheap is and lasts 2 mins. Buy original parts and at least you have a guarantee with them when they go wrong 2 months down the line.

Check the earth straps to number three coil 2 wires and both need to be connected. Very easy to miss one which iv done before.

Don’t know any local fairy’s I’m the only gay in the village:p:cool::p

Cheers guys for once again informative info. Just another job for the weekend!!! Can anyone tell me why we do it !!!

Ok cheers saint so why would the passenger side not be working ?? Any ideas appreciated. Is it one motor and 2 fans !!

Cheers mate it’s just the passenger side dash blower no battery drain or anything so could be the blower I suppose. If you still have an L322 I know your fairly local I may be collecting an 02 with just 122k on it as a breaker from Bristol with full lpg system on it . Con rod through the block...
