Just a tip on removing the Timing case, it needs to be lifted slightly and pulled forward, problem is the front sump retaining bolts studs.
What I did was was lock another nut onto the retaining bolt and then unscrew the complete stud out, then the timing case comes forward a lot easier. Herd to explain, but you'll see what the problem is.
Then just use new RTV silicon at the sump front when replacing
Good luck with the maintenance programme - it sounds as if you are doing the right thing.
It is most important to change the lifters if you replace the cam (on any engine) otherwise the cam will wear quickly to the wrong shape :eek:
With regards to the central locking, which should be standard on your car; new key fobs are available from Land Rover but they need to be programmed by the dealer, or someone else with the software. I had my dodgy one replaced with two new ones and programmed for about $600, which is way too much but I was desperate :( There is a chap in the UK who can supply new key fobs for a fraction of the price and programme them if you send him the alarm ECU. Google - Land Rover Key Fob. It might be worth getting the security code changed, seeing that you have no fobs, just in case a previous owner spots the car and still has the keys,

Thanka chazza, I'm not sure if I found the right site or not - but the most obvious one is this one here, and they are quite specific that they will only deal with UK and N.Ireland orders.
I guess I could always take the post to my sister first and let her post it back to me approach.....:p
