Engine light flashing is a misfire, I'd look at the easy stuff first before going to VANOS. Oil on plugs, blocked cat, PCV issues, vacuum leak can all cause a misfire or rough running.

Surprised at the lack of TD6s.
I assume the lack of 4.4 JLRs have something to do with the introduction of the TDV8, I'd expect the NA petrol engine to last longer in general. |

Is the bmw one so bad in comparison? Anyone had a good experience with ... |

I'm missing the nut for the rear trans mount. Anyone know what size it is? I don't really want to remove the bolt to send it in to the store.

Today I felt it in P!
I have an intermittent belt squeal when cold - could a worn/loose tensioner cause the vibration d'you think? Seemed worse when AC cycled but was still there with AC off. |
