SDV8 - Piccy with cam cover removed

For no other reason than for interest or for reference, here's a piccy of my SDV8 with near side bank cam cover removed.

2005 Range Rover Vogue 4.4 V8 Zambezi Silver

Had a hell of a knock in a diesel once, went to strip the engine down
Just as luck had it, a by stander looked at the camshaft, which had been removed and noticed
the cam badly worn on the side of one of the lobes
must have been a fault, replaced the cam, fixed RR 2005 4.4 petrol

When I compiled my 4.4 tdV8 Fault Log thread I only looked at threads from L322’s, but I didn’t find a single reference to serious engine problems.The highest mileage car had done over 240kmiles and was still going well.

yeah, I think this surprised many folk who thought the sd/tdv8 were bullet proof - and seemingly are. Land Rover technical were certainly "interested" I guess I was just unlucky.

I wondered what was under the plastic...where mere mortals do not venture... Just interesting. Filters are in fact so good that in certain circumstances, when the ambient air is already polluted, a diesel car will tend to extract more particles from the air than it emits. Emissions Analytics worked with........etc etc

He who dies with the most toys wins...

You read about bits of metal getting into pies etc and food recalls so maybe some factory "contamination" ?
(aka Dave dropped a washer where he shouldn't)
