It's no reason not to buy it, a good bargaining point... As long as you are aware of it it will be easy to catch in time...

Thanks Haylands. If you catch it at the rattling stage is it a far cheaper fix? |

Mine went at about 108k miles. I say "went", I later found out that it was the right bank jumped a couple of teeth and the restricted performance bong activated. If you want a dealer to sort it, expect an £8k bill. An indie will be much less but still maybe half, and I struggled to find one that would take it on at all let alone in short order?? But if it jumps any more and and the engine detonates then its a new engine time and that's lots more. I'd say if the car is what you want at the right money then have it, but put by a fighting fund in case you get unlucky. For all the forecasts of doom, there's a silent majority out there enjoying their cars and never realising that its a "thing" at all. Mike - MPx

Thanks MPx, at around 18k and 105k miles, I’m thinking I look elsewhere. Sticking a fighting fund aside is all well and good but the cars worthless to me in a repair shop.

A good indi is charging around £2,000 for both chains and guides, it is not a dealer only job... It's not a hard job, just time consuming...

That's really helpful! Thanks a million. I must admit, I thought chains and guides was a more expensive job than that! |

When everyone was using the dealers it was, then lots of indies invested in the tools required and the price tumbles, it's worth doing the injectors at the same time.....

That's interesting to know from Haylands that it could be about the 2k mark. I thought about £4000 from an Indi was the usual. I've seen the job done on Youtube and I always worry about the bag of nuts, bolts and clips left over and the mechanic stood there scratching his head wondering how he had so many bits left over.

I had the chains done on mine when I got it, and it was under 2k. A good local indy did it for me. Have a search through my early posts as I put some more details in there somewhere.

Ours is a very late 2012 L322 and the chains have just been done... Had jumped a couple of teeth & was in limp mode... |
