It's probably overkill, as the engine is extremely quiet no tappet noise or the dreaded liner tap, more to do with preventative maintenance. However I am at 122,000 miles. Since this car has been hidden away for a few years this is something...

Some here, tempted with the ‘auto’ / max torque one myself...

I would have thought so as a cam change will effect the characteristics of the engine on it's own. Thread carefully as the factory engine would have been to a spec. suited to the model. Remember Newton's third law :rolleyes:

I drilled and helicoiled the studs on mine years ago, not a bad job just awkward access. Dewebbed mine and drilled all the holes bar two slightly oversize, plus used nuts with built in washers that would allow it to shuffle around a bit in use...

FYI for anyone not done it and curious, if bolt snaps in head and you can’t get molegrips on it to twist it. Your choices are, stud/bolt extractor set, drill a pilot hole in the bolt and use the extractor head which should hopefully unscrew the...

It's an easy job if the studs don't snap or damage the threads in the head.

Ah, sorry. I thought you were going to have the lighter on a separate switch (like mine is). Re-read your first post and got it now. perhaps a feed from the ignition (so it is def off with the key out) then going through the high beam switch...

Get a multimeter out and find the 12V live at the ignition key? Run a line from that?

Bloody thing wouldn't post the first two times in the What Did You Do To Your Range Rover thread. Said parsing error. Third time must have ended up here. Bizarre.

Don't forget my costs include the equivalent of Pickfords packing a decade of house / and unpacking in the house in the UK 3 months later.... some yes - some no - I sold a Discovery 4 after 10 years and 100k extra km and got more for it than...

But could you replace it like for like 🤔. J

Kenyan car prices are high, you might get more for them here, than they would be worth in the UK?

Ha - outside Nairobi near Rongai - karibuni :-)

Hi CMR, where in Kenya? I'm north of Nanyuki...

Hi all, Kenya for the moment - I built my 90 soft top 4LV8 on here last decade - now thinking of returning to Yorkshire with my latest 110 overland truck if I can get it insured. Nice to e-meet you all.

Sometimes in life, things don’t happen quite how you want them to. It is how people respond when this happens, that counts and from the PDF Jake attaches, he seems to be polite, and offers as much information as he can (in the snippet), offering...

Hello, Jake here - Ashley, you're right, I didn't respond very quickly but I thought I'd share the conversation at it seems a little miss represented here. (of course confidential details hidden)

i think what i'm trying to say is the what-ifs.. but call me paranoid. a fast first start is critical is critical in this case, you dont want it coughing/spluttering for a min while it warms up when you need to be bedding in a new cam.. for the...

if its e10 petrol, that goes off much quicker and means more 'off' fuel per litre of liquid

Thanks Mark See below the link to the knocking sound.

PS. Nothing wrong with the belts, all model dependant…

i have to fix the dizzy yes ! that's could be my last job ;)

Yep, no HT going to the dizzy cap or HT leads going from it to the plugs… …and lordy, thats a lot of belts! Just have the one serpentine one on mine.

Take the spark plugs out (distributor cap seems to be missing ??). Then crank it on the starter motor & check the oil pressure and get the oil circulated where required. Then I would put sparkies in & get it to fire up & idel before revving it up.

Hi Almost finished the job : new cam and lifters, rings cleaned and oiled, composite head gasket...check the pressure oil pump with a mechanical gauge (25 to 40 psi with drill) just a little scared to give the fist crank ...should go to 2000 rpm...

Hi all, i have returned after selling my old 110 300tdi, i have got a CSW 110. The joy of owning a landy. Already blowing a 20amp fuse in the engimne bay now and again that i need to chase down and find out why lol. Rebuilt in 2018 on a marsland...

AI said… Converting a Range Rover Sport with 285/35 R22 tires to steel rims and all-terrain (AT) tires involves a few key considerations. Steel rims are generally heavier and offer a different aesthetic compared to alloy wheels. Additionally...

You won’t find AT tyres in that size, so you need a reseller that can recommend steel rims that use the same bolt pattern and offset, and then get ATs to fit that steel rim (as I’m sure you know). I find Maxxis Razr ATs are excellent on wet and...

Thanks Bud.

Warm welcome Grumpy! Kenyan based guy here, but occasionally in the Cape area.
