Hi, You will need to do a compression test to deteimine how bad it is by comparing the readings. The price quoted does not seem that bad to me, i have an L332 m62 engine, the heads have just been skimmed and the valves reseated, along with the full gasket kit it cost just over a...

Hi Rob, I would suggest that your battery is on it's way out, don't forget how much your using it at this time of year and if your only doing shortish journey's it maybe is not getting the chance to fully recharge. bob

Bemble, your a star, thankyou very much. bob

Could anyone tell me what the torque settings for cylinder head bolts on my l332 4.4 2002 please, going to start the reassembly tommorrrow. thanks bob

Just a quick update, engine is now stripped and the heads are off ( arms are bloody knackered with reaching over the front of the car ). Cant see nothing to bad, the cylinder bores are all nice, smooth and clean, however on the removed heads, the one with low compressions seems to show slight...

Try having a look at the launch x431, that's what i use and so far have had no problems, it talks to all the various computers and can reset everything i need. At the end of the day it all comes down to what you expect the unit to do, how many times you expect to use it, and more importantly...

Thanks to those that have replied both on the thread and by private message to my comments, I am sorry that Mozz took it personally the way he did, that was never my intention, nor was it my intention to open a right old can of worms. However i still stand by, and believe what i posted...

I had to get a new heated front screen for my TD6 about 8 months ago, £ 285.00 plus VAT from land rover, there was a cheaper one without the rain sensor........dont know if it's the same one as yours though, a local company fitted it for £60.

My reply to the post was never to cause any arguements or start any fights....sorry to all who thought it was, brakes on a car are one of it's most important safety items. I have asked for advice many times on the forum and have always recieved invaluable help, hopefully i have also helped a...

Was i the only person who read this post and was more than a little concerned, that someone was asking how to bleed air from the brakes ??......surely this is one of the most crucial parts of a car, which if you have to ask how to do it, then you should leave well alone !!!! bob

Not really much else to tell at the moment, except the spare cylinder heads have just been skimmed, pressure tested, valves reseated and new seals fitted, so they are now as new and ready to fit. Got a price for new head gasket kit from both bmw and land rover.......strange thing there...

Mike, Did you get it off without having to lock the waterpump, mines stuck like a big stuck thing....am having to make a tool to lock mine as it wont shock off. Thanks to a photo on a previous thread, i know to make a 3 holed tool so it wont bend (hopefully). bob

Hi Vougely, I had my 4 wheel alligenment checked and set up by my local specialists on my TD6, they must have had 4 attempts at trying to get the steering wheel 100% true, in the end they got it the best they could, however as the car had been been on it's side they put it down to...

Cheers Wammers and Irish, have started stripping the engine, hopefully will have a better idea over the next few days whats went wrong. I have two cylinder heads from a previous 4.4 M62, which were fine when i removed them ( piston and cylinder wall had holes in them ), so since my earlier...

Thanks Wammers for the quick reply, it seems strange why one complete bank would be low and the other one fine, especially when all 8 cylinders where tested exactly the same, there is no signs of smoking Dereck, the engine is a bit lumpy, the only fault the launch x431 gives is vanos timing...

Thanks lads for the replies lads, thats what i thought, just wanted it confirming. Since the original post i put a bit of oil through the spark plug holes and retested cylinders 1, 3, 5, 7, and they went up to around 135 PSI each, what PSI should i be looking for as i did'nt think bank 2 was to...

Yes, it's a straight forward job, however replace the brake wear sensor at the same time, i replaced the discs when i did mine...absolute doddle!! Bob

Hi All, I have looked all over the internet to try and find what the cylinder compressions should be for my engine, before i decide if i need to pull the heads off and have them refurbished. Cylinders 1, 3, 5, 7, allread between 85-100 PSI, where as Cylinders 2, 4, 6, 8 all read 145-150...

Prior to putting this on ebay, i would rather offer it to forum members first. This engine came out of my 2004 last year which i bought salvage, the car now has a new engine, the old engine has been lying in my garage, it is totally complete ( except starter motor). The engine had done...

Would depend on the type and catagry of the salvage, also what damage the vehicle may have suffered, however we don't know if the vehicle in question is,was,or has been previously damaged, all we know is that a salvage yard sold it. bob
