Know what you mean though.Great images. Maybe you should be a Photo Journalist instead of an Engine repairer?
Super ModeratorA complete and utter bastard, that's who! I did have a mechanic say to me that when it's installed in a Citroen (east-west) it's a doddle and makes complete sense, so maybe there's something in that.Originally Posted by 4bee
I'm not done yet, but if I can do it anyone can. The reason I'm trying to document this is I can't find anyone else that has. All I see is "yeah I did it, was a bit of a bastard but got it done". So I wanted to do a blow by blow just so that people can see it's not rocket science. Can't say I'm not making mistakes or I won't fail, but I'll die trying (or the car will).
Also, bear in mind this is a 2.7. Everyone I've spoken to has said it's possible on a 3.0 but a *lot* harder as it requires timing and there is a lot less room to move (seriously??? less room???). Oh and there isn't actually room in there to get the 3/8 air ratchet unless I put a 90 degree air fitting on it. I'll do that for next time.

Good write up Brad, I dont think you are too far off the ballpark with regards to parts removed.
Your times though are crap, do another half a dozen and you will be right up there

He should live so long!
Super ModeratorHeh. Yeah. I was told 4.5 hours for a good mechanic. I estimated 8-10 for me going full tilt and then allocated 16 just in case. The way I'm going I'm looking pretty good for 8.Good write up Brad, I dont think you are too far off the ballpark with regards to parts removed.

Frankly if I turn the key and it goes I don't much care how long it took
I'd love to meet the person who wrote the Landrover manuals "reposition the crankcase vent oil separator" my arse!

IMHO, for someone who knew bollocks all about this, I reckon you have done extremely well. my son.
Right, when is the key turning ceremony & will I hear the naughty words & crashing & banging from here?

I have a mental picture of an Eastern European bloke with little English language skills & having already been shown the ropes on the "How to assemble this..."having a few sleepless nights knowing he's on the assembly line next morning.
OMFG!
Maybe it's just me?
