Hi there guys. Wondering if anyone could recommend a specialist to replace the timing chain on my 5.0 sc in Yorkshire? RR have quoted £4056 just in labour and aren't really enthusiastic about doing it either. Any help would be appreciated as its got the common diesel sounding rattle and id like to get it fixed ASAP

You could try giving these chaps a ring for a quote.
They are in Selby, about 6 miles from the York Outlet place.
It is a no frills place, but they know what they are doing.

Thanks Baltic Blue for the quick response. ill give them a call now

Might be worth trying Simmonites - used them for my Defender even when it was in warranty. Excellent for Defenders, not used them Range Rover wise but would expect them to be good there too.

How many miles has yours done?

I'm looking at buying either a 4.2 or 5.0 s/c L322 at the moment, but am slightly scared by the potential 5.0 timing chain issue and what appears to be a sizeable cost to fix it if/when it does go wrong!

I use Sheffield Prestige- can’t fault them....

Mines got just under 90k on it at the moment, not much considering it’s a 2009 so average 10k a year done on it. Tried Quattro in Selby but they’ve said they don’t have the tools I think it needs a trip to the dealers as the more I look into it the less I believe it’s the timing chain, it’s misfiring too and that may be the cause of the rattle

You can make on offer on mine if you like. It’s a genuine Kahn RS600 model with 1 previous owner like the one in this pic

Thanks for the offer, but sadly my main two requirements are not black or white exterior, and no Kahn/Overfinch upgrades - that seems to rule out 80%+ of S/C's!

Wow I agree, probably most of them ruled out! Good luck finding one though l, I’d recommend the vogue centre as they seem to be one of the only dealers aware of this timing chain issue and get them sorted before sale
