Morning all,

I know it's a long shot but... does anyone near Chelmsford in Essex have the crank pulley holding tool for a 2010MY 5.0 SC?
The job also needs a torque wrench for 200Nm plus 270 deg, a 24mm 3/4" or 1" drive deep socket and probably a breaker bar with the official scaffold tube extension.

I have a new LH thread stretch bolt on order, but struggling to find a local garage with the tools who will do the job.
Lookers MD in Chelmsford have been nothing but uesless in getting back to me, and the doris on the phone said they'd want an hours labour to just look the car, let alone do the job. I've already pulled the undertrays off.
Not exactly jumping at the chance to pay 2hrs at £180p/h plus VAT to swap one bolt.
Have tried local Jag specialists too but they are also unable to help.

Like I said, long shot but I have to ask. Keeping my fingers crossed.

Thanks

Afraid I can't offer the vital crank tool, but as far as I can tell from my previous research into potential garages to replace the timing chain guides if/when needed, QP Online, who used to have a premises in Barking but now seem to be Maidstone, are very well equipped for all 5.0 S/C engine jobs.

there is a US youtuber who did 5.0 chains with a LR tech in his barn
worth a look
. Cheers, Greg

I'll need to buy a barn as well then .

Everyone did say RR ownership was expensive...

Try Taylors at Dunmow very Helpful. They are excellent and a LR Service Centre.

Thanks for the suggestions guys.

I've bit the bullet and bought a holding tool - one which goes in place of the starter motor and locates on the flywheel.
If anyone would like to borrow it just shout.

My timing chain guides were replaced before I bought the car back in March, but they don't appear to have used a new stretch bolt.
There's no way i'm going to torque the old bolt up when a new bolt is only £15!
