Saw the pics of your bike earlier, now they've dissapeared? I thought my 899 Panigale was a thing of beauty, but yours is something else!!
Sounds to me like your brother has been had over and the c ... |

Not quite correct, you could buy a short block for £5k + to obtain them 🤣🤣 as opposed to a stripped engine at £17k+ (neither however avaliable).
I have a spare 448DT block from when I reb ... |

Got you!
The valve diverts hot water to either the block or the heater matrix, but as your normal heating works fine I'd say it rules out the valve (unless anyone knows better?). There is a coolant ... |

| If you mean cold air once the vehicle is running then pretty sure it's the changeover valve on the fuel burning heater. Had the same and the valve looked fine, but changed it and warm air again! I thi ... |

| I'd be interested to know how you obtained a LR factory unit as none have been available for nearly 3 years. I'm seeing the last price for a full engine at over 23k. |

| sorry if i am covering old ground and or missed the point. But am I right in thinking that if you buy a 2018 onwards SDV6 or V8 and the crank snaps / engine terminates itself then there is no way of ... |

That seems exactly what I'm after, it's showing as out of stock, but will give them a call to see leadtimes.
Many thanks |

| It's effectively the same engine in the L322, as much as the block, crank and pistons go. I'm not sure about heads and cams as the engine was only Euro 4 emissions so there wil be emmission related di ... |

I think that was the route Cam tech Craig took and all ended well for him. Obviously if you've got to pay someone to do it, there's a fair few hours in labour involved.

Depending upon spec & whether it's a facelift 2017 model or pre-facelift model I'd say if you got £10K you would be doing very, very well. I've seen 2016 models go for £6K.
I'd agree with the ... |
