Go with Bell engineering. Very good.

Took it back to the garage last week. Collected it today. They did an engine flush. Brill. No noise now. Even better than before the head work was done. Happy days.:D:D

Any idea on price for new tappets and labour ?

Hi all. Had a new head gasket and head skim done a few weeks ago. Now have very noisy tappets. They were OK before. Its not a problem from cold, just when it gets warm. Is this something I can fix or should I take it back to the garage? BTW, they said they kept the tappets soaked in oil...

That needs checking out. Get the tyres fitted, if that fixes it, ok. If not, get it checked out at a garage.

I got one from a breaker. Had a 4x4 specialist code it in for me. Took 1 min to do. All ok now. He was a friend, so very cheap. I think they charge around £40.00 to do this. Sorry I'm in Berkshire. Good luck

I agree with Hippo. That's what it sounds like.

Yes, It was bell engineering.

All pretty straight forward to do. Follow the the threads here. If you getting new support bearings, that's make it easier. Otherwise you might need a puller to remove them. Make sure to have some else to help lower the prop when under the car or use a jack to support it. Did mine two weeks ago...

Its best as a whole unit. Just done mine on my own. Its ok, just need to support the vcu with a jack or something. Good luck

It came from Land Rover Parts, Accessories and Spares From Brookwells :)

OK. New o/s Caliper. New Disc's. New Pads. New guide pins. Overhauled the n/s Caliper. Much better now. Happy boy:)

Yes, not cheap are they. Managed to get one today for £54.00 + disc's at £13.00 each + a set of pads at £20.00 + guide pins at £10.00 set + brake fluid £2.52 + brake bleeding kit at £9.50 + a brake pipe clamp £7.40 + VAT + delivery. Plus, it needed taxing to. Staying in this weekend:(

Thanks for the info. So, first guide pins, gaiters, pads and disc's ?

Hi. Got problems with the front brakes. O/s front is getting very hot to the point were its smoking. Reading some thread here about sticking pins etc. Not sure how much damage has happened to mine because I'v only had a few weeks now. Going to change the disc's and pads and thinking of replacing...

Hi Just changed mine a few days ago. Speaking to Bell engineering before I got the new VCU to ask how to test a worn VCU. They said, one way was to go for a 12 mile drive and see if the VCU got hot. If very hot, it could be on the way out. Hope this helps

Sounds like 28 psi then:)

I did it myself. The new VCU was £200 + PP of £30. Bell engineering charge another £30 to send the old unit back, so £260 all in.

Yes just the VCU was changed. The support bearings were ok. Bit tricky getting them off the old VCU and you will need a puller to do this. The other way is to order new bearings and fit them to the new unit.

What is the right pressure then?? Book saying 26. Some here say 30 !!!
