Back in the workshop (shed) today stripped the rest of the front of the jag, fiddly but not too bad everything now off or disconnected apart from wiring plugs and power steering tank coming off with the motor. Gearbox well all it's connections to do, have been wd40ing the subframe bolts for a...

Will be it interesting to see his choice of bearing etc, not going to use OEM crank it seems, lot of choices available but I never really know what to make of them should you steer clear? Is a cheap crank reason at least some rebuilds break a second time?

Went over and collected D4 yesterday hired a trailer locally, D4 was at a dealership 10miles from home what attracted me was its mint inside and out, and here's the but, has a broken crank, to my horror he started it describing it as a knock, you probably heard a scream about 3PM that was me...

Yes mate always suprising here in Norfolk, have seen some blogs/information says code some says re-learn we'll see, was the actuator, your right about timer, try letting just epoxy soak into the foam before applying microfiber or filler to the mix, what a day mate done it gotta tell you just...

Oh hi guys. @gstuart sorry had to show you this, 07 this morning one job left to do automatic handbrake not functioning on dash still works but amber light too, plugged in diagnostic no communication with tcm, so corrosion I thought, half right anyway but someone had beaten me to that see pic...

You always have such nice things mate, always interested in seeing, many of your things are on my list, been buying blue point and snap on one or two at a time as replacements or if I lose something, also found a blue point 8mm 3/8 long reach on the jag undertray bonus, did you get on ok with...

Thanks mate break out box is at the top of my list, rear lower tailgate has decided to fail today switch clicks then fades with repeated presses reading up seems to be a actuator fault, got it out to test, its fomoco everything else going ok on holiday so taking my time, another little project...

Yes mate exactly more torque more load, lack of maintenance on any dare I say high performance engine

Two litres is ample for a flush, bled 09 using ap200, have used icarsoft too be aware it makes an alarming noise when abs pump kicks in, sorry if you knew that, will keep an eye out for a petrol too, doing bits inside and during showers and outside when it stops

Yes mate sorry had an oil flashback Lol, rain stopped play today brakes anyway, easy day today fiddling with the jag, also have to make some adjustments to my lifting cradle as xf has only one attachment at the rear of engine, and cleaning pistons for my 06 D3 in after jag, did the same thing...

Fitted front brakes today, gave hubs, carriers and calipers a good clean, replaced turbo heat shields on left side and arch liners, wheel arch trims, waiting for rear discs, changed wipers also ran through lights all good, also picked up a leak off test kit, still have list off little jobs...

Few pictures for you l/h bearings 170k discovery r/h is 100kish but not 100%, to be honest, the green is a coating worn through as you can see, also look at the edges you can see an equal marking to prove they were fitted centrally, well almost, this is where the lack of tabs comes in, not to...

Yes mate interesting program watch it all the time, was suprising to see a tdv6, basically has the same opinion as my machine shop, waiting with anticipation the rebuild mate, incidentally they use kings all the time, waiting to see what they say about the shell hole sizes, clearances etc going...

Yes have put it down to now infamous knock on effect, for self preservation Lol, surprisingly brembos and ebc ultimax pads were only around £50 more than cheaper non brand, only the price of two door weather strips, I don't normally run diagnostic bleeding when changing fluid or minor pipe work...

Me neither Lol on that day I re-bled the brakes using the ap200, then checked codes and decided to replace the pressure sensor as was getting intermittent pressure codes and ecm fault, changed for a OEM one I had don't think the one fitted was, got in fired it up to run live fuel pressure data...

Well well replaced battery today cleaned every thing I could think of no change, went through codes again one code was intermittent fuel pressure decided to take a break from wiring and change out the rail sensor had an oem fuel rail so robbed it fitted to 09 fired it up to check pressure on...

As long as its secure and can't slip or flip and your happy with attaches no worries
