    Hey all, could not find any forums or videos with someone having a similar issue to myself. While doing the timing chains in my 2011 RRS I found the oil pump chain had ZERO tension, the tensioner was there but the spring had sprung itself out the rear of the plastic tensioner. From my research...
  2. Range Rover Evoque / L538
    This is my first post, so be gentle. We're new to Range Rover ownership, this is our first vehicle. My wife is traveling, her "new to us" Range Rover SE dies at an intersection. Won't start back up, towed to a service station (not Land Rover dealership) they determine it's the timing chain...

    I am posting on behalf of a friend who has a 2015 5.0 supercharged with 80k miles. He recently spent 3k on his service and was advised he needs both timing chain and supercharger coupling replaced. The noise does not happen always. I would like to know if the car does really indeed need new...

    What is the likelihood that my original 4.2L with 189k milesjumped a tooth on the timing chain? I’ve read ALL the history of this engine,which mainly speaks of the dropped cyl liners, leaking head gaskets and camwear, but I can’t recall reading about timing chain jumping. Truck has been purring...

    Hello, I have a 2006 L322 HSE w/ Naturally Aspirated engine. From what I understand this engine is NOT impacted by the timing chain issues. Can someone please confirm? Thanks!
  6. Range Rover Sport II / L494
    I have a 2014 RRS HSE - single owner/purchased new - now has 83k miles. The CEL came on and started flashing and the vehicle died. It would restart but ran very rough and the light continued to flash. We had it towed to a local shop and he’s saying the timing chain needs to be replaced. The...

    Taking front cover off a nut fell out I think from inside the case wondering if anybody knows where. I never seen a nut like that. And 2nd question about to change the timing chain and I checked the timing marks, Rave says 6 and 12 o clock on cam and crank sprocket. Both of mine are at 12 o...

    I have read multiple posts stating the Jag engines in the 2008 models generally don't have timing chain issues. Mine has 199K miles on it and a couple days ago a bank of cylinders stopped firing on while I was on the interstate. I limped it to the nearest dealership about 5 miles away and they...
  9. Range Rover Mark III / L322
    Hello! I'm taking in a newly acquired '10 RR SC w/ 110K to the dealership to having timing chain issues addressed. I have read that the thermostat and water pump are worth worth replacing when doing the timing chain service. Are there other non timing related parts that are worth replacing while...

    I came across this class action lawsuit against Land Rover regarding the timing on the engines affected by the bad parts, I’m considering about jumping on this train as my car has now bend valves, anyone else has thought about doing such a thing...
  11. Range Rover Mark III / L322
    It is all in the title. The RR is in very good condition, other than the fact that the timing chain ate the guides for lunch. Im in Maryland if that matters. I have a feeling it is worthless. 160k miles.
  12. Range Rover Mark III / L322
    I recently bought a 2012 RR SC with 106K miles on it. So I knew the timing chain guides would eventually need replacement. The other day it started ticking pretty bad, and got worse. Happened more sudden than I thought it might, but alas, I'm 95% the timing chains are the issue. I'm fairly...

    TD;DR Is there a particular thread with basic info/advice on what to do or look for when dealing with timing chain/tensioners repair? I know there are plenty of related threads, but I'm curious if there's one that consolidates general advice. ============================ I recently purchased...
  14. Range Rover Sport II / L494
    Hey everyone, so that time has come on my RR. Timing chain tensioner is going out. Lucky for me it is covered under warranty but I wanted to ask..... since the engine is gonna have to come apart to some degree, is it worth it to just have them rebuild engine while it is apart? I am not sure how...
  15. Range Rover Mark III / L322
    So far so good I think, with this procedure. Ended up ordering the crank pulley holder tool to get the crankshaft bolt out. Easy once I had the tool. Anyhow... Doing the zip tie method. Used multiple zip ties and other visual checks to make sure no skipped teeth, or at least I'll know if it...

    Hi, interesting new angle for the timing chain issue https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/xk-xkr-x150-33/5-0-timing-chain-new-information-attn-techs-159928/
  17. Range Rover Mark III / L322
    Found out the hard way that if you hear a banging noise from the Cam timing chain, is to open the engine and replace all 3 guides. Allso do the right thing and replace the mainchain and the mainchain tentioner. I only did 215000KM's in mine. The other chains and tentioners seems to be OK.It seem...
  18. Range Rover Mark III / L322
    First, 33k mi on my '11 RR HSE. knocking wasn't bad sometimes, other times I could really hear it. no codes/CEL. planning to keep the truck a long time, so might as well deal with it now while the problem is relatively contained. I'll share some notes on the process when I'm done. I'm trying...
