Gav, thats not whats happened. No faults come up on the diag machine but the car wont go - just no power. The Mech now thinks it could be a blocked breather or an air injector. All fuel injectors are tickety boo. Dont know who come out mate... whats the guy in birkenhead like. I dont want to...

Right the plot thickens. Dave has fixed the head and the piston but the same fault remains... gutted. Now before this problem happened the car used to say 'trans failsafe prog" and go into limp home mode which I think locked the car into 5th gear. Before that happened the car felt like it...

Just thought, I dont have a garage. Im going to look like a right plum stood in the street with a hairdryer pointed at my motor.....

So what you are saying is that I just need to go to Rotheram? I might just give the missus hairdryer a try first. Its only because when I had a scratch on the bonnet (from my mate and some suspicious friday night conquest!) I asked him to spray it out and he also sprayed all the letters...

Cheers mate. I'll give it a go!

Anyone know the best way to remove these on an L322 2004 RR? Thanks. Alex

Chaps, I have found a knight in shining armour. I spoke to Dave and had my car towed to him, the fourth garage in two weeks! He has been a gent, he knows whats wrong and is in the process of fixing it. I will give you more details when I return from my honeymoon and collect my car. Without...

Morning mate, now I am no expert by any means but I do know that mine 2004 had a smiliar problem and it was simply down to a flat battery. My battery had drained whilst on holiday because I had left the TV on. Once I jumped started it the LandRover recovery guy said I would get a number of odd...

Will do, I think we will be replacing the lot. Seems a lot of waste though to be honest. You think the engine is worth anything afterwards?

Good effort, cheers mate. I think it might be worth noting that having bought the car privately I had a health check and a full service done by LR - 4 weeks later its buggered. No call back from the health check so I couldnt buy the warrenty in time. LR told me to go to an indie otherwise...

Thanks all. Gav, took you advice and dropped that chap on ebay an email for a quote - Only problem is is that its the other end of the country - my luck continues. Do you know who or where I should write to at Landrover? Cheers mate. Alex.

No, independant dealer. Aparrently you cant order these parts for the RR2004 - No codes for them to order as parts from LR I was told!? Shrapnel sounds like it was an injector tip.

Hi all, thanks for all your messages it is greatly appreciated. I have an update. I had the car towed from LandRover to a dealers. THey have stripped it down and told me that there has been some schrapnel in the engine that has damaged the head and piston, this has bent the cam rod. All...

Hi, just spoken to landranger to get a quote on fixing the engine in my Vogue. Seem like a good outfit but has anyone had any dealings with them? Thanks.

Andy, I heard a pop like a missfire. It was then knocking loudly when idle and lost most power. I have just been on the dealers again and they said the have run a compression test and the number 6 cylinder is reading nothing. 1-5 are ok but six is buggered. They are saying it could be a...
