I would say main bearing cap bolts. Quick search on google should find an answer.

Tbh most 300 owners do not have a clue about anything, otherwise why woud they have bought a 300!

They look standard to me. Iirc 200tdi seals on a taper and later 300 ones use an o ring. So where the male/male union screws into the rad it might benefit from some thread sealant. Note td and 200tdi seem to use exact same set up, apart from all...

It does make things easier, particularly if you have to load 2 x >40kg dogs in the boot, both wanting to explore further rather than do as they're told! Maybe that level of convenience isn't for everyone, but if you have it, generally you want it...

Almost done, Just needs testing out, that's the biggest job, the big thing is I still have the original steering wheel and that the whole idea of it all, it looks like it should!

EDC

The hand brake and gear lever are s3 too, along with the sills

im back to the forum, got my pc fixed, cant remember my previous details so started a new account pictures and proper sentences to follow!

Looks like a s3, but you will need better quality close up pics to confirm. Bulkhead screen mounts and interior suggest s3. What country is the car in?

Hi and thanks for replying,had car about three years battery already on, battery tester says alternator is ok and also says battery is good. but now i am thinking remote,bought this about two years ago and had it programmed and had no problem...

If you google battery voltage chart you will se that 11.7 is pretty much shagged. Lots of people think a 12 volt battery is 12 volt, when in fact it is 12.6v when in good health (something you will never see on a d3!) batteries typically have 6...

Iirc remember correctly the throttle will be in the idle position and any link rods inside go in the holes that relate to the code not the model but the actual code for that inj pump.

How old is the battery? If only doing short commute you'll be lucky to get two or three years out of a battery. I assume you have checked it is charging?

TDV6 / SDV6 - TD6 is a different powerplant altogether - yes, there are issues, not least due to historical design compromises in the 'Lion' range due to PSAs insistence on dimensions - there are similar (but not always as catastrophic) design &...

Bear in mind they present a heavy dose of opinion dressed up as 'entertainment', not always reflected in reality outside of their own curated experiences.

Some of them spiders are slightly too long. Are you using genuine GKN? And the correct size? Always fun with landrovers and the parts getting worse

Unless it ingests a turbo...

If you are doing piston rings you are going to be doing the head gasket anyway. I assume you have a smoke problem?

There are two timing chains in the v6, drivers side one is at the rear of the cylinder head, and passenger side one is at the front of the cylinder head. When the snap they cause quite a bit of damage, so it might be a good idea to stop using the...

I was always under the impression that apart from ic hoses and the odd turbo the 3.6 was a tough old bit of kit.

I would say you can count on the fingers of one maybe two hands people on her who own a d5. Check out the d3forum as they have a dedicated d4 and d5 section, good forum plenty of regular posts etc, some posters are kind of stuck up their own...
