hi yes the garage will recommend have been great what I'm told is the guy who sold me the car has been driven hot, fine on day i brought it, and basically they have put a camera down the bores and there all scored and scorched! just one of those things live and learn now to decide...

all i know so far till i speak to them tomorrow, is engine has ceased!

Bad news - engine is dead!:boom::5bbanghead:

Update - will has put me in touch with a specialist, just waiting for the garage to put mine back together and hopefully get it transported over there tomorrow. Thanks again everyone for the help :)

Many thanks for the offer and for everyone on here help, I really appreciate it. I'll make arrangements in the morning to get it back - and not buy any parts just yet

it was ultimate land rover in dudley that said it doesn't sound like a rebuild just something electrical like ecu etc, I've also called phoenix 4x4 land rover specialists in wombourne and he's asked me to call back in the morning for a chat, again doesn't think it sounds mechanical more...

the car was in the unit with the windows down overnight. i have this evening spoken to a LR specialist in my area who can't see my car till mid march as he's too busy, but he was a helpful chappy, told him what happened and he says it sounds like the engine ecu & maybe the fuel pump. and in no...

the original garage said we don't know whats happened1 its done there head in and pushed out on to the road for me to move! taking no responsibility! I'm thinking when i know what it is preparing a small county court claim to try and recover some costs as i took it in working went to collect it...

Hi well the garage say that they checked the timing and it hasn't jumped! i advised to check the fuel pump which they say they have checked and its not that as fuel is being pumped through, also they are now saying only 2 cylinders have compression! we have gone from having 4 working at 170...

would a damaged ecu or sync problem show on a diagnostic?

thanks again for all the advice, ill get the garage to check the pump this morning, i know when the AA came the 1st time to me he said id flooded the engine and had to remove the fuel pump fuse to get it started. also the garage its at now tried to start it 2 days later on and they commented...

heres a pic of the work previously carried out, says 2 chains on there??

don't know if it makes a difference but it has an lpg conversion. still on sunday it was running like a dream monday it wouldn't start but a jump from the AA got it going Tuesday - won't start at all, new battery & plugs

thanks for the responses everyone, the original garage kept it alive with a jump pack, it was a new battery fully charged apparently, it was working the day they did the battery change but they blew the fuse in the windows, they kept it in overnight and when they went to start it the next day it...

garage reckon a misfire has caused it, there was no rattling or banging at all car drove sweet until it went into garage for a battery, then it came out with low compression on 4 cylinders and a misfire and no one can get it to start now - stumped! garage have said have looked at all cheap...

i already did, from the cowboys that couldn't check a fuse to a engineering place that did the wifes engine rebuild last yr from a snapped cambelt

Hi, sorry its a 2002 4.4 v8 engine - believe its the bmw M60 engine thanks

yes, garage checked fuse told me they were ok, next day they told me it was the fuse. they fixed that but somehow managed to jump my timing chain so now it won't start again, now after a timing tool to sort the problem out - HELP

Hi all, my l322 wouldn't start last week, after a week of diagnosis the garage reckon my timing chain has jumped, the guy who normally borrows them the tool is on holiday, so i was wondering if anyone has one we can borrow to crank the timing chain back please im willing to pay a 'rental' fee...

Hi my l322 didn't start this morning, i called the AA and after an hour he told me the battery was dead. so i took it to a local garage, they fitted it all ok, now the windows don't work any help please.......
