That she has, P1173, P0012 & P0022. Two of the codes are related to the timing, so I’ll take it back in and they should redo the timing free. The shop just did both of the VANOS, the ABS unit was rebuilt, replaced the bottom timing chain cover and the fixed an oil leak. I’m doing some...

My wife and I love our Land Rovers and we just added a third Land Rover to the family. Amazon was selling this beauty and our toddler turns 3 on the 17th, she’ll love it. I finally got my wife’s 04 Range Rover back from the shop. Unfortunately the bracket I used JB Weld on and was going to test...

Update, the car is in the shop we sold our house and bought a new one. We start moving this week and should have the car back in a couple weeks All great ideas, I’m also going to ask the mechanic what he thinks for a test.

That’s one of the best ideas I’ve heard in a while. When I get the housing cover replaced I’ll let the mechanic know I want the old one and I’ll post a video of what it takes to break the part off again. Considering the LOVE/hate relationship my wife and I have with both of our Land Rovers, the...

Me too, I didn’t drive it until Monday and gave the JB Weld a good 24 hours to cure. Since then I’ve put a few hundred miles on the car. All I can think is the piece behind the bracket that broke off is being assisted by the adjustment screw from the bracket. I’m somewhat torn. I’m going to...

Initially the JB Weld appears to be holding. From what I can tell the part I broke off is part of the timing chain housing. Hopefully it holds for a month, she goes in next month to get the VANOS done and I’ll have them replace the housing at the same time.

I’m going to try the JB Weld this morning and let it sit for a day. There are two screws that hold the plate to the engine and the piece I broke off is behind the bracket. So, maybe the pressure of the two screws will be enough to keep it from coming back off. The pulley tensioner has a separate...

While working on my wife’s 2004 Range Rover HSE with the BMW M62 engine. I hate to admit it, but It appears I broke the idler tensioner bracket off from the engine. Wrong size socket and too much torque… I’ve taken pics and I’m hoping someone can tell me if I broke it off from the block or...

Thank you! I’ll do that.

I have a question. Due to an unfortunate cylinder wall collapsing on my 1976 Chevy pick up with a built 350 I have a performance Turbo TH350 Transmission and Torque converter with less than 50 miles on it. I am wondering if there are any conversion kits available? I have an 02 Disco and I...

I was asking about using the same sensor because of a post recommending I cut and solder the new wire into the old wire that is hard wired into the car. It sounds like it may be best when I do replace the wheel hub to just cut the old wire and solder in the new wire.

I’m glad I started this, I will make sure to not use a T connector. This raises a question for me. Should I decide to replace the other wheel hubs and ABS sensors (using the reasoning that, one wheel hub went bad, the others can’t be far behind) can I put a volt meter on it to make sure it’s not...

I took a look this morning and the ABS wire coming off the drivers side wheel hub (US side) comes through the wheel well and back through the firewall. So I will assume that it’s been bypassed and hard wired. When I replace the wheel hub, I’ll use a T connector on the wiring. Thank you

Thank you, That’s good to know regarding the length of the ABS. I’ve been considering replacement of the remaining three.

That looks like it’s the same. I hadn’t thought about looking to see if there was a cable hanging next to the wall of the engine compartment. I don’t have an ES, not sure if mine is a SD or SE. But, I’ll be looking tomorrow to see if I have a matching loose cable. Thank you!
