    I was contemplating studs mate but after a bit of reading I was under the impression that there were clearance issues with the rangie if studs were inserted.

    In regards to the triple checking upon purchase, I will definitely be doing that next time. Obviously viewing receipts for rebuilds doesn't show how poorly they were done. D'oh!

    Again your support and ideas are greatly appreciated guys.

    I found that there are very few mechanics out there that know anything about Rang rovers, some pretend to know but realistically don't know much. That's why I'm very picky on who gets to work on mine.

    Hehe, hearing you there. I am a classic car enthusiast too and only either my good mate or myself work on them. I reckon the P38 is joining the ranks there too. At least then I know that any stuff ups are my own fault, and surprisingly, as a backyard hacker, they are few and far between.

    The only clearance issues are the last two or three at the back and then only on the drivers side (at least on the D2). You can fit the heads with the rest installed and then fit the last few. The studs don't need to be torqued or loctited into the block, just finger tight and then I use pressure from one finger to tighten slightly.
