Seems like your in the right hands mate, injector can make quite a clatter fingers crossed its something simple all the best

Picked up working on sdv6 motor today, took time to photo and note vacume system before removing it in basically one piece has an issue or two Also removed pipe work and pulleys from the front of the motor to remove the timing cover, but don't...

OK, I'll have a word with my French neighbour who has a great many LR products including like yours and who too is facing a rebuild of his SDV6, we are minutes from the Aude / Hérault border, just south of Mazamet. We know the area where you're...

Hi Plus 1 what’s already been mentioned as indeed doesn’t sound right Wonder if it would be worth to remove the engine oil filter , cut it open lay out flat to see if there’s any silver material inside as that also a good indicator if things...

D3 run up and out of workshop cleaned up nice, just turbo heat shields and recheck transmission fluid level to do tomorrow Moved D4 motor back in workable position as you can see has a massive oil leak at front crank seal, vacuum issues, crack...

Thanks - sound advice! I’ll trailer it to the garage. Unfortunately I’m in France and JLR main dealer is my only option (locals drive Japanese kit). Just to prepare myself, if it’s a big end tap, or a crank, what kind of money would you expect to...

JLR will probably only replace engine for you these engines can be saved but is cost and finding someone to rebuild presuming it's not beyond saving best of luck

Sound like big end tap, doesn't sound loud enough to be broken crank, but as above dont drive could be a much cheaper fix at this point

These are easy to use, I do these for my clients cars with aircon. Engine running, Fan speed 1/2-3/4 speed, Temp set to middle, Set the heater to recycle with the aircon on. It comes on automatically with the recycle button on the 38'. Close...

Last time I recharged aircon on my D3 the garage sanitized the vents as part of service

An svr u say , I wonder what would to quicker that or my driving licence for speeding , lol Drooling with the thought of opening one up through a tunnel , yeh I know I need to get out more 🤣 As a side note would be interesting to see as to what...

Ur so very welcome mate in being able to help here and there where I can Massive respect as you’ve made a huge amount of progress Wonder if the adblue injector is blocking up and the redex has helped clear it out as heard they block up Wonder...

You never know been some cheap projects out there mate was a damaged svr on evilbay but went within a few hours Did all bits as last post on D3, initially wouldn't start, let a little more air out of shrader valve and off it went, sounds fine no...

Hi mate many thanks for help and pointers on sport, definitely can find you a cheap D5 when I can talk you into one, been suprising how well it's gone so far keeping fingers crossed Lol did get a 1500 mile adblue warning followed by a nox fault...

Awesome mate and so pleased for u that you’ve made some fantastic progress Thks for sharing as so nice seeing different projects and what will or won’t work out of the box Think we’ve become so accustomed to having to use a scanner it’s a...

Ride height calibrated after new sensors fitted?

A friend of ours has a small issue with her D4 and it seems that the actuator is stuck. I've not worked on the turbos on our D4 (yet) so I'm wondering if any of you fine lot can offer any advice before I dismantle the wife's one to see what I'm...

Hi mate I have a sdv6, with turbo issues started to remove in situation, but run across other issues so pulled motor in the end, but believe it can be done if by removing turbo, I watched a couple of YouTube vids where someone was doing this...

New reversing camera arrived had code u0055-87 cluster communication, but no image module faults, so anyway fitted camera and wrapped trim Held breath, camera worked straight out of box, cleared codes, instrument cluster fault gone for first time...

Changed the transmission cooler on the sport, was a bit fiddly as is partly behind intercooler, dropped the fluid, and refilled also changed the engine oil and filter, waiting for camera to turn up so I can refit tailgate parts then can road test...

Hiya Funny enough I noticed that as well when I was looking for one It was the same when I finally bought my D3 as it was like a boat , then after I virtually rebuilt the suspension and got it perfect the difference was like night and day All...

Indeed such a shame when some convert them to coils as I think it ruins them seeing the air suspension offers such fantastic ride quality Of course understand it’s all down to personal choice , just mentioned that I felt daunted at first but...

For the first 8 years all repairs done on the drive Now have access to a pit, which makes it easier, but still could be done on the driveway Susp failts, replace dessicant in compressor a few years back, currently front bags drop overnight and...

I don't see why you'd buy one with springs when you can buy one with air. Sure air springs need replacing, but so do metal springs. It's generally quite reliable unless you ignore leaks, dash warnings etc

All of the above, couldn't afford one if couldn't do maintenance myself, but still a strain on my wallet, as for money pit you should be fine I have them all here

Already had next faults, well same really transmission temp, which is triggering loss of communication it seems, drives fine though no limp mode, at this point have ordered transmission cooler will fit and drop fluid again see what happens, local...

I think if you pay someone else to fix your car then running an old lr will get very, very expensive. They only make sence, to me at least, If you will fix it yourself.

If it was me I'd take the pipe in question off and take it to a specialist pipe company, who would make one up for you for not much money. Using the same fittings. This thread may prove useful to you...
