Just don't drill into the water jacket...

When you say RHS, do you mean the turbo side or the inlet manifold side? It sounds like the typical bent exhaust manifold or broken stud on the manifold. This will screech, especially when you put the vehicle under load. Look for sooty deposits above and below the exhaust maifold where it...

Press the 'Land Rover' logo - It's a button...

They are OKish, but like all Land Rovers, don't buy an early one. I think the only big job we've done is change the engine on one. The rest tends to be service/brakes/software updates.

It could be the diesel leak off pipes, which run across each injector to the driver side?

You want the Texaco/Havoline MTF94. It is the same as used in the R380 5 speed gearboxes, and easily available from a Land Rover dealer.

Get the codes read with IDS and then make a judgement, otherwise you may be spending in the wrong place.

Was the flywheel changed with the last clutch?

Not wanting to break any forum rules regarding spam, but the Sky-Tag units are great value and won't break the bank to subscribe to either. I've just ordered one up for my Puma.

Crazy though isn't it? Not even manufactured properly at the factory...

The dealers have been changing the fuel rails recently. There are a few notes on TOPIx about it.

It's hard to locate the noise when driving. Could it be the rear diff?

:crazy:

Just to update, all the rebuilt units appear to be running well. On the gauge, they run at 4.1 bar right through the rev range. I've run out of units though... :doh:

Agreed, more than likely is is a warped manifold.

Dealing with Land Rovers isn't an exact science. The important thing is that a customer should not be left unsatisfied. What has the reactions been when you have communicated your dis-satisfaction to the company involved?

You are supposed to (at the very least) flush or replace the cooler and pipes as they will be dirty and thus reduce the ability to cool the new box adequately, and it will contaminate the new oil. The best way to do it is renew the parts. The cheapest way is to flush them. I guess they...

Don't chip it - The GM boxes on the M57 vehicles can't take the extra torque. Or chip it and have a couple of gearboxes ready. If you want a more refined drive get the petrol version.

The Alive system is a very high quality unit, and for the price it is really a no brainer. Consider a set of performance metallic cats for the vehicle. They don't break like the OE ceramic ones and they certainly allow the vehicle to flow gasses out the back much better. Double S do a cat...

You should be able to find a reasonable second hand motor for between £1000 and £1500. The labour side combined with all the bits and bobs (such as oil and replacement gaskets) will probably push the total to around £2500. You don't mention the value of the vehicle. Obviously if it is a...
