Hi all.Please could you give me an idea and any pointers on cylinder head removal on the L series. Head needs to come off and planning the work in a few days. Take it the timing belt has to come off etc. Thankyou.

Hi all. Anybody tell me if its a major pain to take the head off the L series 2.0 diesel engine? Starting the job soon if anyone could give me an idea please. Take it its timing belt etc etc.. Thanks..

Im hoping its the glow plugs anyhoo. Gonna change the 3 i can sort of get to then see what happens. Providing i can sort the broken one. It looks a descent motor apart from the starting problem.

Gonna give it a try when the weather improves a little. Any idea what the heads like to take off? Major headache or not too bad? :frusty:

It's the L series.. Stupid what it involves takin glow plugs out... Thinking of tryin a tap set b4 takin head off. Think they must be the original plugs.. :mad:

Right off to start the clutch now its not raining! would it be ok to put the landrover front end up on ramps, would this give me enough clearance?
