hi Steve just a little tip I drop a 20mm plastic pipe through the body mounting rubbers on the chassis till in touches the floor then spray a bit of white paint around it on the floor, l do this through every mounting then you can roll the chassis out for steaming/cleaning, push it back slide the 20mm pipe back through line the marks up again presto it works every time. Cheers Derek lee
Another way is to screw a length of threaded bar into the 2 rear body mont holes and the 2 fronts, then lower the body till the 4 threaded bars go through the mounting rubbers on the chassis, once on, unscrew the bars and put the bolts in. It will be lined up perfectly.
Great video pall I started following you on your first discovery rebuild great video it’s what started me off into rebuilding them myself putting one together as we speak spun shell Thanks for the videos pall
Great video! Love watching landys being pulled apart...! Unfortunately I didn’t get to do half enough of this fun and games while at the Jlr dealership 😥 ! Most of the time spent slinging ingeniums around the place!
I have a question . What does this all cost to overhaul a 2012 RR sport V6 diesel with 350k KM ? I love the car and think it is time for an OH , hate to loose her but Paint and OH would be an option for the next 10 years
I have always liked the look of Range Rover Sports, but I'm thinking that having to take the body off for so many jobs on these really puts these beyond viable DIY maintenance. I will stick with my XJ with the same engine. I already changed a turbo, oil pump, front belt and rear belt with the engine in the car.
Material between the journals way too thin. OK in a Jaguar as the car is lighter and less likely to tow heavy stuff but in a Land Rover it's under way too much stress.
What mileage was on the broken engine? Do you think it was the usual oil pump failure ? I am repairing a 2.7 with 82K miles which had a severe oil leak at N/S exhaust cam, when I stripped of the cam cover the caps looked as though they were starting to melt!!
hi can you tell me how to change the water pump on a 2013 autobiography range rover i have noticed a plastic cover behind the pulley wheel do you have to remove this any help would great
A lot of folks have said the same with regards to rebuilding these, everyone seems to suggest that the new crank snap after six months anyways. Has anyone actually rebuild one and has lasted for more than 10k miles ?
Yes, I used to work at a main dealer and never took the body off to do the 2.7 tdv6. The 3.0 looks a bit tighter so it may not thats why I took the body off on this one. TDV8 definitely wont come out with the body on.
@@pistonbroke what are main things to worry about with crank snapping. I would prefer to keep engine. Ive read crank can snap cos new cam belt not adjusted properly which mine looks like. Thanks for any info
Designed to make main stealers make money...can get an engine out on my driveway and re build it but no way can I get the body off....what a bonkers design...the early mini metros suffered the same problem broken crankshafts...
Good news that he's decided on a new engine. Snapped crank = risk of warped block = issues down the line after rebuild
Great to see it coming along!
My thoughts too. It'll happen again or something else will go.
Legend is back with ep2. Really looking forward to ep3. Well done 👍👍

I’ve waited this second ep. like I was wainting Christmas!! Great video! Great job!

I'm glad I left JLR before that ingenium shite came out. Tdv6 was bad enough!
@@pistonbroke Whats wrong with the ingeniums?
@@alexjumba what's right with 'em. They are utter garbage. Google "jlr ingenium engine problems" and find out for yourself.

There's a lot you can do with the body on. I dont normally take the body off to change the engine.
Thank you for this video
Great video keep them coming. What's your thoughts on why the crank snapped?
Material between the journals way too thin. OK in a Jaguar as the car is lighter and less likely to tow heavy stuff but in a Land Rover it's under way too much stress.
top mistre miquanica👍👍👍
You have much patience..!
As the owner has chosen a pre-enjoyed engine are you changing the oil-pump and belts etc.
It'll get whatever it needs to prolong the inevatable
@@pistonbroke... but how to find a good V6 when most are toast.. good luck.

This was a couple of years ago. 112,000 miles springs to mind but I might be wrong. Oil pump hadn't failed.
Jesus that crank was well cracked!
Bit more than cracked mate, it was in half!
Piston Broke Garage almost 3 half’s 🤪
hi can you tell me how to change the water pump on a 2013 autobiography range rover i have noticed a plastic cover behind the pulley wheel do you have to remove this any help would great
I'd might be able to help if I knew what engine it has.
Great job how did you drain the ac?
With an a/c machine.
Wow omg respect
Sir can I get work visa from you? I am from India now I work in Saudi Arabia. Please let me know if you have a vacancy!
No disrespect to salvage rebuilds love watching their videos but Jesus Christ we never sent all this when they took the top off👌👌👌
I've seen salvage rebuilds videos on his sport. Cheers for checking mine out.

They have a habit of failing again, the one I done about 10 months ago is still going though.
I have a question can you remove engine from the land rover / range rover with out taken the body off chassis
Yes, I used to work at a main dealer and never took the body off to do the 2.7 tdv6. The 3.0 looks a bit tighter so it may not thats why I took the body off on this one. TDV8 definitely wont come out with the body on.
Hi when crank snaps does it take the valves as well
No not usually

@@timcole7479 crank snaps because they're made of toffee. When it goes it can damage the block if the two broken bits overlap each other.
Hi please, I'm looking for the timing chain timing v8 L320 TDV8 RANGE ROVER SPORT HELP ME IF YOU WANT
