| Smoke coming from down that side of the engine is quite normal after that job as there will be oil that drips down onto the manifold/turbo when you take the cover off. It should clear after a few mile ... |

I was thinking that tonight as I towed it home. Makes sense to give it all a good going over to ensure it's not going to let us down, well, not straight away anyway  |

| That's a good point actually. My wife is really taken by this one so it's likely to be a long term keeper so doing all of the "whilst I'm in there" jobs with the body off would make perfect ... |

We've got a 4 post ramp in our workshop at home which has seen me rebuild a couple of L322's. One of which was an 8 month project and wasn't too bad to do. A 2 post would have been easier.

Evening all,
I've finally jumped in with both feet and bought a project L320 SDV6.
The car is in lovely condition but it needs engine work due to it knocking. I suspect it's spun a con rod beari ... |

That's interesting.
I take it the economy has suffered as they've been pushing the power figure higher.
Thanks for the advice.
I need to try and find one to drive now as I've only ever admire ... |

That's actually better then I expected and a lot better then my L322 is!
Budget for me will probably limit me to a 2016 or 2017 model I think. Although, it wouldn't be the first time man maths has ... |

Afternoon all
I've been pondering the idea of an SVR for a while now (amongst other things, SDV8's, L405's, etc.).
I currently have 7 cars and am thinking of replacing my 4.2 Supercharged L32 ... |

I had another look at it this evening with a fresh pair of eyes after having slept on it and spoken to the Jaguar specialist.
His advice was spot on, with the tension s ... |

I think you’re right.
I spoke to our local JLR specialist today who said that this is normal until oil pressure has built in the tensioners. Anything up to around half a tooth is acceptable so I ... |

The crank was pinned with the tool as per the manual whilst it was set.
