Spline set turned up today, removed timing cover doesn't appear to be leaking at the crank seal no oil inside only a little weeping in at the bottom Belt is nearly new obviously had a kit recently looks pristine, oil pump is also newish it is...

Nice one mate and hopefully things are coming along nicely Jesus I wouldn’t know where to start with all of that ,lol imagine it’s a lot nicer being able to work on the engine whilst on a stand instead of the confines of an engine bay At...

As a side note never forget when I was looking for leaks on my ac system Used the paddling pool that my dog useto use in the summer time , filled it up with water , then made up some test systems in order I could find the leaks Hopefully it...

Hi mate yes I try to keep various systems separate as is many bits, many bags, tubs, labels and also use a white permanent marker Vacuum system I'm using a pump to test individual lines, engine mounts don't hold vacuum but most others did now...

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...
