Timing chains suffer from the long service intervals. It's the most effected part of the engine they say. 16,000 mile oil change interval is just a selling point. It's not based on fact.

I looked at one of them. I see it's a long list of vehicles that need engines I assume. Keep in mind that for some reason a lot of Land Rover guys out there are scared of this thing. So I'm guessing a good portion of those could be repaired. and less than half are really junk. Those engines...

4 chains. One runs the balance shaft.

I was told recently that the V6 LR3s are bringing more money than the 4.4 V8 models. You guys think that’s true? I would be surprised if that was the case

Yep. It’s hurt, did a cylinder leak down test.

Well that kinda sucks.

I opened this thing up. Front chain failed. I’m getting conflicting info on this thing being a free spin engine or not. It’s a Ford Ranger engine. Anybody know about that thing? I’m finding info that says there are 2 variants of this thing. One being an interference engine, the other is not...

I think if you get it for under a grand it might be fun for a little while. But I’m sure it will have some catastrophic failure before too long. Then you have a parts truck.

Maybe it's because I took that plastic shield out of it. The tire sits perfectly, drags on front and rear but barely. And then I just tried to stab the reciever in since you mentioned it being a no go. But it clicked right in.

I just put the receiver in this one. It went in fine.

I was surprized how well that sealant that is installed in vehicles without spare tires works. I have a little chevy cruze eco(no spare). I got a big chunk of metal in a tire too close to the side wall to fix. You use the compressor that comes in the kit to push the sealant into the tire. I was...

It looks good I think. Fresh powder coated wheels. Replaced every sensor.

What did you do about a spare? This truck had a space saver and the owner wanted 5 of the 265/65s. Its tight for sure, I think I would go a little smaller just so I could stuff the spare. I had to take that plastic shield out of there too to make enough room. Truck drives great with those on it.

Deflated it slides right in. I only put about 20 lbs in it cause its going to push on the ear that the rear toe adjuster mounts to.

I just came back to see what you guys did. Cause it's not going in there like this. I'm deflating it now.

Same. That’s what I’m finding. No rubbing. I’m about to stuff the spare. Hope that fits

I'm putting some bigger tires on an LR3 and I think that harness in the left front wheel well is going to get destroyed if the tire contacts that area when turning right. Anybody deal with this before? Thinking about peeling the inner fender liner out and finding it a home up there.

Easy now. He might not realize he's gay yet.

Hate to say it but this little back door affair started a long time ago. Volvo was sold to a company in China. We already bought all our Evoque and LR2 drivetrain components. Not sure but I believe they bought them assembled engine and trans on a front cradle. Land Rover sold the rights to the...
