Hi! This is my first post on this forum. My brother took his 2013 Evoque in for service and the dealer came back with a long list of things that need to be done including replacing flywheel and torque converter bolts. I've never encountered this in any of the cars I've had. Is this a common...

Hey everyone, I'm new to the forum as well as owning a RR but I didn't walk into the purchase oblivious to the costs of ownership. I enjoy the play so I purchased prepared to pay but I have a question before I run to the dealer or an indy screaming 'TAKE MY MONEY". I've had the truck for about...

Hi, I need to lock the flywheel of my 2004 Range Rover (BMW M62 engine). The Cam tool locking kit I ordered came with the locking pin (see attached). Its way too long to fit into the Flywheel pin hole. Can someone advise me if this will fit if I cut the length down and if so, what should the...

Changed my front oil seal today and managed to bend a few U sensors on my flywheel. It now doesn't run right at all. I tried to bend them back but obviously it is still not right. What needs to be done and what kind of job is it? Do I need a whole flywheel or can you just replace the ring that...

I am in the process of replacing timing chains, guides etc, overhauling vanos, sealing valley pan and replacing various bits and bobs whilst the engine is stripped down. All going well except! During removing the crank pulley bolt after heating and fighting and a lot of swearing, i had the crank...

Pulled my tranny to replace the drive plate and found one rivet sheared off of the reluctor ring. The other rivets are very slightly loose so the reluctor ring has a little movement. This damage was caused by broken pieces of the drive plate. A new flywheel is $758. Has anyone replaced the...

New (used) motor install. Need help understanding the markings at the face of the flex plate flywheel. my new motor has a mark at the starter and another just beyond it. No marks i can see on the torque converter in the bell housing. Id like to marry the two tonight but Im perplexed by the...

Hi all. I have numerous issues with my car, however the latest one is the one that is causing me the biggest headache. At the last service, I asked my mechanic to check the exhaust (I have a custom 2.5" exhaust that has 2 ends) as I would often hear it banging when I would first start the car or...
