I did find a leaking exhaust manifold gasket but thats not the problem. I did take in a lot of vids off you tube and had a similar sound. I suspect a knackered rocker . To an earier post. Its a lot quicker to drop the sump than take the top off. I have a thor with gas so its tight at...

Rrrrrrr. Its not the liners. It must be a rocker or a rocker shaft broken valve spring or a hydraulic tappet. Its starting to get to me now especially as ive frozen my nuts off this morning putting sump back on. So much for the advice by one of my local landy indy. Beam me up scotty...

its a 2000 petrol thor 4.0ican help

ABS fault light has come on. I have a basic code reader (pro Scan) but cannot access the ABS fault code with it. Is this normal and need an expensive code reader to access these codes.

As the weather has given me a window to pin the liners i started it the other day. My liner slip is on the passenger side so decided just to do this side. Sump off , exhaust manifold off, engine mount off. Arr just where you need to drill we have the gearbox cooler pipes. Pull them...

We have gift shops so its probably the only time some of you ever go out and spend money on the mrs and others. Best time of year for us as the tax man, council and the :Dinternet has fooched it for the rest of the year. A bit of advise. You think the rangie is high maintenance. You...

Yep Landrover came up with the idea, but struggled to make it better, just went for the cover up and keep silent mode. Others just came along and put effort into where they were going wrong. If Landrover had a bit more effort 20 years ago it would still be landrover UK not landrover India...

The wife worked hard over the christmas to get us a new motor. Well she spotted an X5 and that was it. Leather ,silent, smooth, sporty, no faults, new tyres, new brakes, full service history, unmarked, looked after. FULLY LOADED. I can go on but it ticked all the boxes. Ok 3.0L petrol, but...

I thought that list was all normal for a p38 owner :o

st replaced my brake pipes. the connectors for the rear sit under the offside wheel arc cover. It is very east to mix the pipes up as its easy for them to cross as they go up and through the chassis and behind the air cylinder out of sight. Replaced all the flex pipes as they just fell...

SD1 ebay sales has them £40 delivered inc vodka and tonic. But if you go that far you think to yourself, well might as well put in new pistons. While im at it have new little ends, and just to top it off re grind the crank. Arr those those tappets are a little loose on the top. Just a...

yep drop the sump and make sure the piston is above where your drilling

Im not putting in top hat liners because i can do this for the basic cost of the gaskets and head bolts. New top hat liners will cost me an extra £1800. The car is not worth that investment Id rather put the money into a L322. Will be done with block in car. This repair is for your diy...

looks like youve got off lightly. being 16 years old make sure your brake lines are ok from front to back and accross the dreaded rear axle. Mines a 2000 one and just replaced all the brake lines and flexy to the calipers, all corroded like hell. Brakes on these cars can be dreadful and...

Started this new thread as it will be good for a quick search Here you will find a step by step on how to pin a slipped liner. sorry not done by me so send your law firm to the author if it all goes pear shape:p http://www.landroverresource.com/docs/Pinning_V8_Liner.pdf I shall be doing mine in...

Just found another how to which is much clearer for those not too familiar with the block http://www.landroverresource.com/docs/Pinning_V8_Liner.pdf Yes it shows the lip but also states that some of the liners never went to the step before being machined off. I'd like to meet that lazy...

yep just finished reading that thread in america on the pinning. I do have a compressor so a 90deg drill about £40. Defo taking heads off to check gaskets as well as it might have been punched through. Will take pics of all work so that it might help a few of you on this subject and get more...

Thanks just had a good laugh at the crap machine quotes. As the engine will furber itself when the head gaskets gone im going to go for it. Yep drilling tapping and pinning. May take the head off in the bank to make sure liner is at the top of the bore and its not fractured before pinning...

You have to get your knees on top of the rad and get a good long extension (pardon me vicar) on a small 1/4 drive. 2 Bolts on top of the plenum at the very rear need taking off. Then dig deep with your hands down the back. 2 x 8mm head bolts hold the coils on the rear of the block. If you...
