So after 5hrs on public transport, got up to Oval Autos.

Joe was there waiting for me. Had a quick chat, then he took me to a local car valeting company to pick it up.

Back to his garage, and a look under the bonnet, then the explanation of what had been done. Showed me some of the bits off my car that needed replacing. Talked throught the crank. He showed me a video of my crank being tested, and where it failed.

He had 2 D4's with bodies off, so showed me around them. Showed me some of the stuff he looks at while the body is off. Also showed me where 1 of my suspension pipes had snagged. Saw a couple of places, where rodents etc can perch/live.

Apart from requiring the engine in the first place, it was a good experience, and would recommend Joe at Oval.

Thanks Joe, and in response to your parting words, I hope I never have to see you again as well.... Bow down

Thanks Andy.

I am still in contact with JLR, but they seem to be trying to end each email as a 'final one on the matter'. I am still questioning everything though.

Great news that you have it back Richard. I'm very pleased for you. It's great to see the internals at Joe's place isn't it? I was fascinated although very unnerved when I saw the pile of unuseable cranks under the bench Shocked

Fingers crossed, all will be well going forward for you. Salisbury plain next Wink

Out of interest, do you have the video of the crank being tested? That would be good to see.

Sorry Kev, I haven't. It was showing it in a setup turning, with a meter touching it. It was 2 mm out, and the needle was moving every time that section came around.

Well car is ticking along nicely.

I had intended to call, but Joe called me to check everything was ok. He also answered a few questions for me again.

Any queries or problems, he told me just give him a ring.

Again, can't praise the service enough.
