Apologies if this is a stupid question, but wouldn't the compression test fail regardless of if it was a HG issue or a block issue?

I had V8 Developments completely rebuild my engine nearly two years ago. They did a complete turnkey job removing & replacing the engine. I just dropped the car off then collected it later. Be aware that you may need to wait some months before...

That's funny you should say that I saw both an l322 and a freelander 1 on two separate recovery trucks on Wednesday night😜

That's because they knew L322 owners would have a Recovery truck following them at all times :)

rufty tufty like you can manage in thermals 🤣

Been driving around with no warnings which has spooked me. Heavy rain yesterday so flooding yesterday and today. Road closed due to flooding but just set to wading height, opened the window to check the depth and just eased through. Pretty much...

Maybe a diving suit range? 🤔

She normally throws a hissy fit when she misses me 🤣

Been using my "new" 60 reg TDV8 for the commute to work this week, night work, so traffic is light but the roadworks do as well! On Wednesday morning at about 0130 coming down the A249 from sittingbourne to the M20, police had closed the road to...

Phil. Many thanks. Got around to doing this and all now sorted. 2hrs of work including taking of and on. Thanks again.

Hello new member from Somerest. Unfortunately/fortunately TDI landys seem to be in the blood.... depending if u ask my other half or me...;)

Sadly the brand name on the part or box means little these days, there is so much fake stuff about.

Very true. 😩

As you say...plug or coil pack the m62 is a pretty simple engine and your fault code is telling you no7. Coil pack failure is common so is oil down inside flooding the coil pack causing misfire issues usually caused by failed gaskets on valve...

There are the inevitable oil leaks (and a smell of burning oil) so I’ll have a look at the rocker cover gaskets too.

In addition, you can remove the suspect coil pack and swap its position once any oil is cleaned if found. Clear the codes and see if the problem moves to another cylinder. The oil in the plug holes is a good cause of miss fires 👍

Front and back of the connector.

i believe you bleed the inside nipple first(banjo side) then outer. sealy do a brilliant pressure bleed kit. it actually works

Thanks for the replies guys. Thanks for the doc links Marjon, thats really useful, as is the info about the manual on FullfatRR. I've made a start on putting it back together today, hopefully I should get it ready to bleed tomorrow. The battery...

The timkin over is over 160€ if not more in some shops... For that you could replace the whole unit. Which I tried with a blueprint unit and it started to fail afert just over 2yr🥴 SKF are a good make🤔

We did our 4.6 back in 2011. It was around 120k if I remember. Went with V8tuner great service and paid the core cost as sending back (we air frieghted it) from here was not worth it. The thing is do you just bite the bullet now, or do HGs/head...

Check the obd port for any green corrosion.. This can cause diag problems. 🤔

If you look on the fullfatrr forum (yes sorry about that) near the top for "wiki" you can download the workshop manual from a link on there. Sorry to hear about your friend.
