Hi again, Thank you very much for all this info. I have removed the butterfly and gently cleaned the sensor. I am going to replace the long intercooler hose this week, but I was unaware that there is another one. I will try to locate this later. I am guessing it is awkward to get to. I will...

Hi freelance, someone else told me that, so I blanked them off and removed the pipes. Couldn't believe how dirty they were. Alas, this has made no difference at all.

Hi, thank you for your reply. It's an auto with 130000 miles on the clock. It has very erratic tickler, loss of power and lots of blackish smoke. It was also going into limp mode if you put your foot down. I have checked the intercooler hose and can't see any damage, although there is a kind of...

Hi there, I have a 2006 Range Rover Sport 2.7tdv6. I think I have a problem with one of my injectors . Could anyone please tell me, other than running diagnostics, is there any way I can check. Thanks everyone . Andy.

Hi there, I blanked off the egr valves on my Range Rover Sport 2.7tdv6, today (2006). I removed the pipes and the butterfly from the housing. I ran the car before fitting the blanks to the throttle housing, and to my surprise, there was a lot of pressure coming out the holes, where the egr pipes...

Wow guys, all this information is very much appreciated. I will definitely take your advice and try these steps before I proceed with the recon unit. Thank you all so very much.

Didn't think of that, to be honest. That's a lot less intrusive and possibly less expensive. Thank you.

Thank you very much for your help. It's reassuring that there are genuine people out there offering real advice. Many thanks

Hi , it started after it was significantly overfilled with oil, by about 2 litres, driven for a couple of miles, then abruptly stopped, with a big ploom of smoke out the exhaust. I left it until the following morning, drained the oil to the correct level, and the car started. I used it...

Hi all thanks for all the input. My car is still running, just very lumpy, no power and smoking really bad. The garage I found is called Leytonstone Autos Ltd, in London. Their reviews are encouraging

Would you recommend that I source a decent low mileage unit

I think the cranks ok, the valve stem seals are definitely gone, and I think a piston ring has gone too. It still starts but runs really really rough, got no power, and smokes tremendously. It's not losing any coolant. I want to keep it long term, so just want to put a decent lump in that will...

Basically, everything is cleaned, and all tolerances checked. Every seal/ gasket/bearing is replaced with new. New oil pump,water pump, timing belts/pensioners. All surfaces skimmed. Bored honed, or rebored, then new rings or piston. Crank rebound or polished. Full recon, using your own...

Sorry lancorky, it's called LR Trade Parts Uk. Don't know if that's the same firm.

That's why I was hoping, someone on here would have been through this and found a garage they would recommend

That's a valid point Hippo, although a little concerning that they break down so often. I have had mine 4 years now, and it has cost me a small fortune. But you can't help loving them !!!!! Lancorky, your last comment is very true, you don't always get what's promised. From the list of new parts...

Hi, thank you. This is what I'm worried about. I did find a garage quite near me, and they specify all they are going to do. It all sounds above board, but I cannot find any reviews on the garage anywhere. There are a lot on Ebay, mostly down London way, but I'm just not sure. They all say they...

Hi there, thank you for your reply. I'll try your suggestions and let you know how I get on. Many thanks

Hi, I'm new on here. I own a 2006Range Rover Sport, in excellent condition, white, with a few mods(discreet). It has recently had a lot of money spent on the transmission, wheels and exhaust. I now have the dreaded engine failure. Because the rest of the car is so good, I am looking to have a...
