Thanks, good point. My worry is that these heads have done nearly 200k miles, 150k of which on lpg, so might be better to replace with a set of ‘petrol only’ heads ? Which might be less subject to vsr. Also thinking that the broken valve might have damaged the valve seat. Maybe next step is...

Thanks - will give them a call.

Spoke to an engine shop a while back and they had a pic or two of similar, not Rangie, but similar Valve failure. Question is, rebuild or replace with s/h heads (if I can find any !)

So took the heads off, just got finished last night. The cylinder with no compression (#2) has a cracked exhaust valve - so pretty obvious why no compression (pic below), no damage to piston. The valves on the cylinder with no compression (#3) look okay, but that was just a quick glance at the...

Thanks... yes I'm assuming VSR also. I'm thinking that getting the heads off (to replace them with S/H heads - cost about £400-450 for the pair, parts only) is pretty major operation. I'd be happy to give it a go, but the car is not at my home address, so have been phoning round looking for a...

Hi all, looking for some advice. After getting the gearbox and torque convertor rebuilt (that's some job to remove and refit...), took my my 200k miles 4.2 SC MY 2006 with LPG (run on LPG for about 150k miles with valve saver oil) for its MOT. Failed the emissions test big style. So did a...

just an update on the gearbox saga… 1. Up on a lift, removed both prop shafts and subframe, gearbox out. A bear of a job and bloody heavy, needs plenty of help. Took it for overhaul (£1,200 - torque converter + plates) Refitted, found selector arm would not move to allow cable to be attached...

Thanks, yes will do that

Thanks - yes I’ve got two of those ! Thinking it is my next project. Would appreciate any tips, is it a wire brush and filler job, or cut out and weld in a whole new panel ?

I've currently got the ZF 6HP26 geabox out for rebuild after it went south - juddering in every gear when under load. This will be its third 'box, but I have done 190k, miles although none of if off road or towing. Have already replaced the front air springs and all the front arms and ball...

Air spring was from Aerosus

Having suffered the dreaded sagging front end, it was time to replace the front NS air spring. Cheapest replacement (my usual strategy ‍♂️) spring was £85. the challenge was to remove the two large bolts securing the front suspension strut to the hub. My Rangie is 16 years old and they were...

Changed the battery on the L322 SC 2005 last week (EuroParts, £95), simples and no problems afterwards with codes etc.

RR L322 SC 4.2L 2005 Having suffered more and more of the infamous ‘click’ when trying to start - temporarily fixed by fully charging or replacing the battery - I decided it was time to replace the starter motor, mileage is 170k after all. This is doable and there are better guides available...
