As a mechanic I can confirm a lot of car manufacturers are t***s!!

Yep it's the turbo/manifolds that would be the worst thing to get off in situ!! So I'm just taking the body off! Luckily I can

Unfortunately yes!! I could replace the heads without removing the body but it's a ball ache and will probably be more time consuming!!

Yeah I've seen the stronger ones so that's obviously what it will be getting!!

I will do I'll hopefully be getting the body off next weekend and sorting it then so I'll keep this updated

Cylinder heads it is then!!

Does anyone think it will be worth me sorting the broken bits and trying to see if it starts and runs??

Hi guys and girls, I posted a thread a year ago regarding my 2007 range rover 2.7 tdv6 it just cut out when driving and upon a small inspection I could see the Offside inlet camshaft carrier had snapped!! So a year later and I've finally got around to getting the car up to where I live now...

Hi mate I've got my car up to where I live now and it's looking like cambelt tensioner failure which has caused the cam cap to snap when the pistons hit the valves, can you remove the cylinder heads with the body on or is it still body off job? Thanks

So finally after a year I'm getting the range rover brought 130miles up to me and Im going to get it stripped and see what's wrong with it! I've got a jag s type ready to strip and put in if it's beyond repair!! So I may need some info in a couple of weeks time when I finally get it in the...

Your info is so helpful and this is the reason I've come on the forum!! Thank you for all your info and help I'll keep you posted on my findings

That's my thoughts exactly!!! I'm hoping it is that to be honest!! Do these engines have rocker arms or are they hydraulic lifters? Thanks for the photos

That's the plan for this weekend! It's baffled me a bit tbh! But I'm sure I'll see exactly what's happening when I strip it! Thanks for the input so far

Yes it does and the cam I can see turning and lifting is the one being driven from the cambelt, the other is driven by the chain but I can't see that one

In my experience if the crank had snapped it wouldn't turn the cams as the drive from the starter motor is on the gearbox end of the crank and the belt to drive the cams is on the crankshaft/front of the engine I guess I'm just hoping it's not the dreaded crank saga! I've got an s type Jag with...

Oh don't worry I'll keep it all updated on here I hate reading forum post that don't have the outcome or the findings! I'm going back to my home town this weekend which is where my truck is so I'll be whipping the rocker covers of to see whats underneath

Oh I see, I didn't know that! Have you heard of the timing chains failing? Like I said the engine turns over and doesn't make a racket but with the oil cap removed I can see the camshaft turning with the engine but when the lobe gets to making contact with the rocker/lifter it looks like the cam...

Hi thanks for your input, I can't canfirm if the pump was done, I'm pretty sure it wasn't as their isn't any mention of it in the paper work! I've bought it off a friend last year and I know the specialist who done the cambelt and they defo did both belts! Wouldn't it make quite a racket when...

So are the valves likely to be damaged or do the cylinders have rocker arms?? I've got an s type sat here just incase!! I just really don't want have to swap engines

Hi and thanks for the welcome!
